Everything is worth a try particularly when it gets you closer to the answer but you are not quite there yet.

Did EVIDENCE that his photo was of a toy submarine end the SURGEON*'s claim that he had a photo of Nessie?


Robert Kenneth Wilson, but the photo is referred to as "The Surgeon's photo"

Is it Nessie related at all???? Did an EEL end SCIENTISTS' claim that Nessie was " a beast or whale-like fish" ?

A fossilised Stegosaurus bone has been found on Eigg the first time such evidence has been found outwith Skye. Is that the answer?

Correct. Up until the find in August of this year the only dinosaur bones found in Scotland had been on Skye,

A guess. If G is Galloway and D is Dumfries, then K might be Kirkcudbright.

No, you are right that it is geographical, but there is a scheme behind it. The letters Glengavel used are not towns, but there are towns there.
