@PeritiaEditors is there a reason to cut out the Brythonic link? Ynys Medcaut older name than Lindisfarne. -
*confused face* literally no-one is cutting out the Welsh link...? It is noted in the tweet I quoted and responded to...
-
that's not how I read it. If that was not your intention, apologies for confusion.
-
No problem. For clarity, the Irish name derives from an earlier Welsh form that in turn derives ultimately from a Latin name :)
-
this is exactly what I was thinking - thank you for the clarification.

The photo is Bamborough castle, not Lindisfarne

I know; she mentions Bamburgh in her tweet too :)

True!

Good thing, I understand there’s no doctor available on Lindisfarne at high tide [apart from those visiting].
