A Road Trip Round Aberdeenshire

Place names in Aberdeenshire
1. Mixed flower surrounds thorium

[Buenchico]

That took a bit of working out!

The flower is (I think) Erica, with the symbol for the chemical element Thorium being Th.

Which leads me to think the answer might well be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crathie,_Aberdeenshire

Must type faster...

[Buenchico]

. . . which all goes to show that even moderators can't get it right all of the time ;-)

Rose with th = Rothes

[Buenchico]

^^^ Nice try but wrong county, Jackierob4 ;-)

(Rothes is in Moray, not Aberdeenshire. The 'flower' isn't 'mixed' either)

[jackierob4]

The quiz is actually a road trip round Aberdeenshire and Moray so i think Rothes might be okay as Crathie is already answered !

[jackierob4]

That is to say if it's the same quiz as i have The Maggie's one

/// The 'flower' isn't 'mixed' either) ///

Yes it is, ROSE become ROES

[THECORBYLOON]

CHRIS, how is "rose" not mixed in Rothes?

[Buenchico]

Oops, sorry! Yes, of course it's mixed! Silly me!

(That's what comes of a mere man trying to multi-task, as I am at the moment!)
