1. boddam.

[quinie]

2 Can't find this at all 4 thought of Rosehearty and Craigellachie but they don't really fit the clue 1 Boddam sounds OK -sounds like boddom for bottom. . I'll give it a rest for a while.

[UncleMeleager]

4. Affleck? (F F inside Aleck). My road atlas tells me it is near Oldmeldrum.

But I wouldn't spell Alec wih a K.

[UncleMeleager]

4 Crieff? (anagram of Eric + FF).

[quinie]

Nice one UncleM. Crieff sounds good. Must say I wasn't thinking of ff.

[UncleMeleager]

The nearest I can get with 2 is Deanshaugh, but there's an L left over.

[quinie]

2 Delnashaugh

[UncleMeleager]

2 Well done quinie, you got it.

[quinie]

It's actually called Delnashaugh Inn. That's why we couldn't get it on the anagram solver.

[quinie]

UncleM,re Kingseat. I've been googling it- hadn't realised it had developed so much. I knew it years ago as just a hospital.. I know the other Kingseat in Fife well.

[UncleMeleager]

Yes quinie, there's been a lot of new development there.

I'm not convinced it is the "correct" answer, though.

[quinie]

3 .Stuartfield?

[UncleMeleager]

That's a better answer, quinie

[irismay]
