Bagh nan Uaimhean

Wemyss Bay


Bruach Easg

 

[Francis]

Bruach = bank of river or lake
Easg seems to be Esk

Eskbank near Dalkeith on reopened Borders route?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Once again, your logic is faultless.

Can you set a new clue. (Incidentally, did you note that LUAS stations are now approved for use on this thread and the rules now showing this addition)

 

[Francis]

Where have I been through today?

Ath na Sgleata or more accurately Àth na Sglèata

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Slateford does have very clear bi-lingual boards

Hi guys! Just to say that the LUAS stations in Eire can be used if you want to. I've edited the rules slightly to show this.

Cheers.

Just a reminder of the forum quizmasters ruling for those who may have missed it.

St. Ives

An t-Sròn Reamhar

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St. Ives

Sorry, but St Ives is.....Porth Ia

Porthreptor still needs solving.

 

[Francis]

Stranraer is An t-Sron Reamhar

Porthreptor looks like somewhere in Cornwall. Carbis Bay?

If so, try A'Bhuaile Ghlas

 

[Bill EWS]

Easg = Fish
Bagh nan Uaimhean = Bay of the Caves.
Strath = A plain
Wick = Uig = Bay
Kyle= Caol = Narrow/Straight

So much for a list of Cornish place names I was studying.


How about Carbis Bay?

 

[pne]

MAGA (Cornish Language Fellowship, as was) Signage Panel Placename Masterlist says Porthreptor is indeed Carbis Bay. (The upper part of the settlement is "Karrbons", though.)

Francis got it right first, I think, meaning the current question is A'Bhuaile Ghlas.

Apologies....meant to say Anniesland

Coill Bhaile Ui Ogain

 

[Francis]

Wood of the town of the daughter of Ogain.
Ogain can be Hogan or Cogan.
Having failed to find any such name in my Ireland road atlas, I thought: Paul likes LUAS.

Green line out of Dublin Harcourt St
Fifth stop from the end: Ballyogan Wood.

Achadh Nan Leac
