scouser?

scouser

The Beatles were Scousers- not sure if that's relevant though

[Farrwest]

Thanks but it hardly seems relevant. The theme is the Isle of Skye so it should relate to there. Can anyone help with the first part of my question?

[factor-fiction]

Without the details of the theme in your question it was hard to know what was relevant. Sorry to have troubled you

[Neveracrossword]

It is definitely NOT 'scouser'. I think the other, longer, thread might contain the answer.

... and the beetle isn't wildlife!

Many thanks Mamyalynne. I know Skye well and should have got this done and dusted much quicker! xx
