Can I have a "P" please Bob - Scotland (2nd edition)

[LobeyD]

The answer is not a geographic feature or a place. In a manner of speaking, you'll be getting warmer as you get colder.

[CharlesT]

Yes, Glengavel, I too thought "Loch" namely the famed Uddingston Loch, the D having been removed to form a moon. Queen Vic would not have been amused by a skating minister.

Queen Vic herself said she never uttered the "we are not amused" phrase; a bit of trivia in a vain attempt to disguise that I too am utterly stumped.

I suppose you did see my earlier contribution of Underwear Lacking, which would make QV unamused f anyone thus kitted out did some mooning, that did seem to fit your earlier clues, and this one.

[LobeyD]

I did see that, but sometimes, I guess, suggestions answer themselves...also not really Scottish in any specific way, unless you know something I don't.

Think what the main effect of the moon is. Not specifically QV but what she represented. Was imported, not therefore uniquely Scottish.

I know this is wrong given your last clues but feel Sgurr has done her share to move thgings along.

Uninhabited Lampay a tidal (therefore connected to the phases of the moon) island off NW Skye.

Ooft, that last one was a stinker, despite the "loads of relevant clues" .

UL, gives a few folk in certain places the 'moon's share'.

Udal Law?

In Orkney and Shetland, as I understand it, legal rights under Viking Udal Law extend beyond the foreshore, out to the point of the lowest astronomical tide? It had a legal impact re oil pipelines etc.

WHAT! ARE KILTS UNIVERSAL ?????????????????

(reposting in case it was missed, as there has been another post since I did mine)

Correct!

Thankfully someone got there before I had to start on the swans etc. Lord knows what Sgurr would have made of that .

Thanks LobeyD!

For 27 years I have worked at the Law Society.

Finally today it was useful for something.

BD overcame disability with success at C, but in a related event, NEF nearly came to grief there.

Clue: if things had gone wrong for NEF, a famous Sottish singer would not have had one of her hit records.

(Be reassured: the puzzle itself has absolutely nothing to do with pop music)

here's a picture clue...

[Sgurr]

Bill Dunn, Orwell's Brother in Law with one leg, swam the Corryvreckan. I am working on the other bit.

[Glengavel]

I can't compete against people who know about things like George Orwell's one-legged brother-in-law!

It appears that Orwell himself got into trouble in Corryvreckan, which means we might never have had Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics wouldn't have had a hit single with '1984'.

I hasten to add that Sgurr has done all the donkey work and deserves full credit!

[Sgurr]

Of course NEF stands for Nineteen Eighty Four. I was looking for another person. What a dimwit. I was also researching "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" with no related songs.
