'S dòcha gu bheil sibh ag aithneachadh "Castle Leoch" ann an "Outlander"
Maybe you'll recognise Castle Leoch from Outlander

@shroomgirl.bsky.socialToday's diversion from Saga #PlaceNames and #Whisky... well it has to be #Shrooms... I think this might be Suede Bolete (Xerocomus subtomentosus AKA Boletus subtomentosus L.) Found in mixed woodland with lots of Birch. Common. #Fungi

@shroomgirl.bsky.socialSpending time in Caithness prowling round #OrkneyingaSaga #PlaceNames! Today: Ham (hǫfn 'harbour, safe haven'), Halkirk (hár & kirkja 'church'), Scrabster (perhaps pers name Skári & bólstaðr ‘dwelling, farm’) but we did drive thru Forss (fors ‘waterfall’) & Murkle (myrkr 'muddy’ & hóll ‘hill’) too!

-dal 'valley'
Thàinig seo bhon fhacal Lochlannach 'dalr' a tha a' ciallachadh gleann
This comes from the Old Norse word 'dalr' which means valley
Thoir dhuinn ainm dal a tha a' còrdadh ribh!

@tradsongtues.bsky.socialAnd here's a map to support the song posted earlier #placenames
@shroomgirl.bsky.socialSpent a lovely afternoon in the fab @orkneylibrary.bsky.social #Archives this afternoon trawling a few more records for #PlaceNames! Today's focus was #Stronsay with names from a manuscript map and a poor distribution list! Love the drawing of the house of Huip! #Orkney
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialI need to finish a little early today as I have a meeting, so I'll finish in Staines. We've had a really good set of songs today. Thanks for all your input. #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialCracking song from one of my favourite places. #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialAnd back across the Atlantic for a cautionary tale of New York. Lively version from Bellowhead. #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialAnd back to Yorkshire again for this lovely little song. #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialOff to Somerset now for a (very early) wassail. #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialOne I've never heard before from North America and with some new places to look up! #placenames
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialLovely background for this song. I particularly like the phrasing in this. #placenames
