    To soon rary, to soon

    While you're here rary do you speak Gaelic? We're trying to find out the correct spelling and pronunciation of common sandpipper.
    I know it's a very tricky language with lots of local dialects.

    Don't want to make the same mistake as one Scottish council that wrote a road sign wrong. The sign spent 5 year welcoming people to penis island . Just because there was a hyphen or something in the wrong place.

            No sorry SP I only speak 2 languages nearly English and not repeatable as for that island, I wonder how many visited with great expectations
            it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

              That'll look good as a house name.

              • We've looked at a few of those on line translation things. Every one comes up with something different .
                Another one we found said common sandpipper was bod hag, which I liked because I can spell it and pronounce it .

                We like common sandpipper for a house name. As it was the first thing we got good photos of the first time we visited the island. All the other house in the village are named after native animals. Apart from 4 which are named after the daughters of the original estate owner.

                • How did you find that name VC?
                  I've just tried and common sandpipper came up with nothing

                      • I guessed you meant "sandpiper"! As you say, several names for it. Do you know any locals who might have a name for it?

                          It's more someone who knows someone

                          We'll probably end up with just sandpipper but we'd like common sandpipper as there's a few species

                          • Is it "sandpipper" or "sandpiper"? You're confusing me!

                              As a birder since 1984 it's always been Sandpiper to me
