[RafaC]

Ouch, not a good round for for me as I expected. Learned a lot though. 
Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - and well done to all who tried it. Having lived in Bridge of Don, just north of the River Don that flows into the North Sea north of Aberdeen in Grampian (or is it Aberdeenshire again now?) on Scotland's East coast, I was surprised to hear way back in the day that Brig O Doon was in Southwest Scotland in Ayrshire. The Elgin one was tricky too, as Nairn and Inverness are also along that south side of the Moray Firth. 

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Cleoriff]

Good quiz @Mi-Amigo Well done one and all.

[Mi-Amigo]
