Sounds plausible, to me, Melvyn. Just to repeat, I am only the messenger--please don't try to shoot me, shoot Donald Grant, or (since he is deid, and shooting is a bad thing) sardonically ruffle his grandnephew Alan of Skibo....... Or, could it be that there was (is?) a serious feud between the Morris and Auchterlonie Clans?

Again I only report, and this time from the Jarrett history of St. Andrews, that Low (respresenting the Club and the Committee) wanted to recreate the challenge to golfing strategy of the whinns that previous to "The Widening" occupied the land to the right of the outwards holes.
Sorry that I can't remember anything more from my days in the perambulator, but I love that old word. Thanks.
