Best Malt is almost always found in Round Whisky Bottles. Don't imagine many others put it in Water Bottles?

You might be surprised at the containers used!

Book Marks are found in Real World Books, not in Web Books. I have absolutely no idea. Did a Scotsman invent the Book Mark?

Good shot if extremely wide of the mark, but no. BM was not invented, or manmade, though to a certain extent RWBs are

No barrels, the B in the first clue is not the same word. (i.e the B in BM is not the same B as in RWB... However the B in the third clue is the same word (i.e. BM is almost always to be found in a B

I have often encountered BM, but to make sure it was Scottish I checked a list which also included the T and CLH

That was definitely a wild guess on my part. But what's T and LCH?

It is certainly found in Scotland but Scottish? It is widely spread through the bogs of North West Europe . The RBW myrtle comes from Osbourne House, Queen Victoria's residence which is in England. I am not calling "foul" but adding to the debate!

Thought of it, and then I just checked a list of Scottish plants] and although not exclusively Scottish, it would seem to qualify.

Whoops. I googled bog myrtle and got the RWB, but maybe jumped to a quick conclusion, as you are right about Osborne. Maybe came from Balmoral????? :oops: :oops:
