DROW also = a troll = an ugly evil-tempered dwarf (Norse myth). Dunno about Orcadian / Orkneys bit.

Drow is a scottish word for drizzling mist. Drow is also a word from the Orkneys and Shetland for a troll.

I think you're quite right, aceface. And that IS an Orcadian troll

Second thoughts, Aceface. AJT is, of course, correct. I'd forgotten about the misty bit. Sorry.

I'd forgotten to say, of course, that the small boat is a dow (runs into sail boat)
