Most enjoyable, and good to see my many trips through or just skirting Ayr over the years made something stick (it's on the main road route from the northeast of Scotland to the ferry ports of Cairnryan or Stranraer, much travelled in my younger days!).

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo and well done all participants - the Sea one was particularly sneaky, btw 😉👍🤣

On to today's one later...

Thank you @pgn

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award.

Good to see that trips in the past paid off. I`m sure this is not the only time when something from the past has jogged the memory of our usual band of quizzers.

And I admit the "seas" question was a bit sneaky - just glad I didn`t have to answer it with geography being my worse subject

Hope you like the categories and questions in today`s WRQ.
