  1. #MythologyMonday - my recent talk on #Scottish #mythology available at youtube.com/watch?v=_hbo44wgaf began with the rhyme recorded in 1826 about Lochar Moss having been a wood, then a sea, now a marsh.

    "First a wudd, and syne a sea; now a moss, and aye shall be".

    I suggest this #story represents eyewitness accounts of landscape change over the last 7000 years or so.
