It was the name of the boat used by Shackleton after the Endurance sank in Antarctica.. There was a TV film about it a few years back. If I remember correctly it's still around.
The Scotsman gets it :up:
It's the name of the 22ft lifeboat that Shackleton and his crew of five used to sail from Elephant Island to the tiny South Georgia Islands. A remarkable feat of navigation, 800 miles, considering all they had was a sextant and a compass.
Yay !! OK here's an easy Scottish one for you...
What's the name of the road that Terry Wogan's good friend (now deceased) Mrs Mackay keeps clear of snow every winter?
Its the Cotbridge to Tomental road, not sure if I spelt it right and I don't know the road number either.
Close enough... It's Cockbridge to Tomintoul... Next time I'll ask for the Gaelic translation :D

Please name the next five countries for tea consumption, per capita.
