It is a sand spit in the Dornoch Firth but I've no idea why it has been given as an answer. I assumed from the clue that the answer was an anagram of prodigal but can't figure it out.

Djay

Clue: Mixed up prodigal

Stronsay

The prodigal son is also known as the "lost son" (the other parables were the lost sheop and the lost coin)

The Island of Stronsay fits the bill as it is mixed up as "son" + "stray" (to get lost)

Djay

Clue: A bird and a half

Egilsay ?

The informal saying "a <person or thing> and a half" - means that is an impressive example of their kind. An eagle is an impressive example of a bird and also "egl" is half of the word eagle and the remiainig letters are isay" Roughly an "Eagle I say" ?

A bird and a half. I suggested Crowlin but was told definitely 8 letters in the answer. Crow + half of linnet

quinie

Innis Bheag used to be called Paterson Island. It's a strange clue.The parable is about a father and son so I presume that's where pater+son comes from. Paterson isn't in any of my books.djay's Stronsay seems a better answer.

Djay

re. quinie Agree Crowlin sounds much better, perhaps there was a mistake in the number of letters.

Djay

re. quinie re=reading the question..it states that there are 7 letters ! So Crowlin it is?

thank you ab's those two questions have been driving me mad. could not accept entirely paterson as the answer to mixed up prodigal. knew that Innis Bheag was gaelic for paterson island but that made no difference.

forgot to say thank you for crowlin that makes sence.

Psybbo

Innis Bheag or Paterson Island near Portmahomack in Easter Ross is now permanently attached to the Morrich More due to shifting sands.

I could not find anything better and though Pat-er(r)-son
Sorry I did search a lot of lists
