JM may sound like a quack but he and his team certainly weren't and a mannie frae Fraserburgh was the first of millions to experience their work.

Professor John Mallard led the team who developed MRI scanning?

“A man with terminal cancer from Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire took the bold step of consenting to be the first ever scanned by MRI.”

thanks rohan! Yes definitely not a "quack"!

Does someone else want to jump in?

I hoped to have time to do one, but I'm ridiculously busy with work getting stuff done before we go on holiday (in Argyll - can't wait!). And, may not have wifi at the guest house.

So it's better if someone else has a go!

thanks

I'll jump in with one fresh in my mind. Depending how alert people are it may go very quickly

The BG is unique in Scotland.

The BG has been mentioned elsewhere on WH very recently.

Maybe everyone that usually follows this thread is away out enjoying the hills and I have been too occupied with other stuff to post clues but although other threads in this forum have moved on the BG is still there to be found on one of them. In real life the BG was moved from near LL to E causing it some damage.

More or less count me out until August. I am desperately trying to get my house to look as if one could do "gracious living" in it (rather than fight with the 18 sets of bookshelves) before I put it on the market late June early July. There are several streams out ebay, charity shops, daughter and grandkids, scouts (camping and rucksacks), book dealers all of which need a lot of work and I have various walking hols planned. Downsizing from 6 to 2 bedrooms. That is why I have been less active on here.

I've been missing your input but understand. I went through the downsizing in storage and living space but upsizing in a different direction, 10 years ago. I reduced my books to 3 bookshelves. Most of the fiction went to a charity bookshop but I kept my hillwalking books and other important (to me) reference books and a few, much read fiction books. Good luck with it all.

I think I should have been putting up clues but my head has been elsewhere. I don't want to distract you from your task except to say you have have the wrong Loch Leven but the right Edinburgh. You appear to be the only person engaged with this at the moment so it may still be here when the auction is over!

Do I even have the right word, as in Loch? Maybe everyone has diverted onto quordle.

[quote="Sgurr"]Do I even have the right word, as in Loch? Maybe everyone has diverted onto quordle.[/quote

When I first started with Wordle I also started on other language versions (French and Gaelic) and the number version (nerdle) but what I do like about Wordle is that it only takes a few minutes and wakes my brain up (as far as it can ever wake up!) and that it is for another day.

In summary as it this has been around for a few weeks.

The BG is unique in Scotland. The BG was moved from near Loch Leven to Edinburgh { this element solved by Sgurr}. At the time I set the puzzle, the BG had just been mentioned on another forum on WH. I also mentioned Caberfeidh. Picture clue tomorrow.

Is this the “Ballachulish Goddess” figure which was found in 1880 and dried out too quickly I think, and warped and cracked?
