Of course it is . Didn't see your revision and certainly didn't realise those other castles featured or perhaps they are in the second series which my wife hasn't started watching yet .

NAC was lucky in its connection with EM

As I have a personal connection with Newbattle Abbey College I'll go with that although I have no idea what EM refers to.

OK, EM was just a clue for NAC because I thought Edwin Muir might be more famous than it, but maybe I am just biased because I discovered he briefly lived in my house....don't tell me you had to look him up on Wikipedia.


Over to you

Thank you. I have a personal connection with the College and was handed their new Guide Book last week. There is a complete paragraph to Edwin Muir and his contribution to the education of notable authors; and I missed it. Another contribution to my education.

LS is tiny and even so you wouldn't want to dabble your toes there.

This is just a fishing expedition. Largs Shore designated as polluted recently ?

NO! Not Largs shore but my place does have a waterline and Yes you are fishing and that is correct for this location.

Next silly answer: Leith Sewer?

A silly answer - Yes. Keep fishing

Well this is another totally uninspired guess, just posted in the hope of extracting more info......Lismore Slipway

First of all - No. Now as for further clues; well what have you got?
It is small
It can be considered dangerous (watch your toes)
It has a waterline so contains water
It is above ground (Leith was silly, really)
It is appropriate to catch fish (take a strong line)

You are now heading in the right direction from Largs to Lismore (forget Leith) but keep going
It is on the OS map

Now stop finning around.

Loch Sloy???? There was an access tunnel with “strictly no access – danger of spalling”.... you can fish or dip your toes in it and the Loch Sloy beer is brewed with Castle Danger spruce (allegedly).

It's still a NO but you are both closer and further away Consider Largs to Lismore and the wrong turn you made.
If you want somewhere else to look I could give 225 pages.

Lochan Spling? There's a sculpture of a Pike in it.
