It stated that on the east coast of Scotland the word 'links' is used in place of 'machair' which explained to me why the famous golf course at St. Andrews is talked about by U.S. tv presenters as the "links of St. Andrews." My husband was very interested. I will keep reading. We don't know much about sheep either. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-85393750231663481372012-07-05T11:26:48.391+01:002012-07-05T11:26:48.391+01:00Welcome, Kathy!

It's normally common grazing (ie, not owned by anyone, but for the use of the villagers' animals). It is left without animals over the summer and that allows the machair wild flowers to blossom. In Genesis 30v16, the KJV in English says 'and Jacob came out of the field in the evening....', our Gaelic bible says 'machair' for 'field'.<br /><br />Beautiful name, by the way :)Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-87754659439394316142012-07-05T04:44:03.845+01:002012-07-05T04:44:03.845+01:00Beautiful.
