There is a place on the British isles where the ships heading for Iceland or Ireland were dragged over land (according to a TV documentary I saw). [...] There are quite a lot of such places in Scotland, the Orkneys and the Hebrides. Look for the place name Tarbert which is very common and always situated on a narrow strip of land between two sea inlets, or between the sea and a freshwater loch. Paul Burke |
