while Jimmy Page may have owned it I think Aleister Crowley was there , he was well into black arts and considered himself a wizard,easgach 1

[Alex Burnett]

I think that would be the Norwegian fly The Telemarkskongen, think that is how you spell it.

Alex

[Dutchfly]

That's right, Alex 

Telemarkskongen, the King of Telemark.

OK

Here is a fairly easy one for you;

Shetland & Sutherland both start with the letter S & end with the letter D but in another language (other than English) they have something else in common, what is it.

Hint: the answer is someone or something who loves fish.

[Peter Rawlinson]

Sutherland has the word cat , Shetland has seal , in Gaelic ? Both like fish !   

[Alex Burnett]

Pretty close Pete you are on the right track but not quite, I am looking for 1 thing that they share
Cat & Seal  would be 2 things. Lets just say you are half right


Alex

[Hamish Young]

The language would be old Norse as, I think, Gaelic was never a language spoken on Orkney or Shetland and as both areas were under 'Viking' control that seems logical. However - I'm prepared to be wrong  
The common link might be seals, but that's a complete guess as I know naff all about old Norse

[Allan Liddle]

Ok Hamish, i'll go Cat then 

[bruce]

i will say they both end in "land" which must mean something in some other language 

[Alex Burnett]

Cat is correct

In early Irish literature, Shetland is referred to as Inse Catt - "the Isles of Cats”
The Cat tribe also occupied parts of the northern Scottish mainland -
they can be found in the Gaelic name for Sutherland  (Cataibh, meaning "among the Cats").

OK Dryflee it is over to you

[Tiam]

Ok, Joker Played.....

Question... Diawl Bach is a well known trout fly but, where does it originate from and in that language what does it mean? 
I know it may be easy but its all i have got

All the Best
Tiam

[Hamish Young]

It means 'little devil' in Welsh. Origins are something of a mixed bag, but almost certainly came from the lad of the daffodils and groups of close formation miners singing and terrifying tourists

[Tiam]

Got it in one
Right Hamish, over to you

OK - another one of these:

Which loch am I

I was once famed for my brown trout fishing but these days am more frequented by maggot drowners coarse fishermen and in particular Pike anglers in search of a fish of legendary proportions.

In my part of Scotland, I am by far the longest loch in the area and have one of the biggest overall water catchments.

The river that flows from me was once a popular Salmon fishery, but these days the trout fisherman is more common than the salmon angler.

So.... again..... which loch am I

H  

[Peter Rawlinson]

Sounds a bit like Loch Lomond .

[Hamish Young]

It's a good guess, can see why you'd say that, but it's not right
