SOLUTION TO LAST MONTH'S CRYPTOGRAM:



My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Robert Burns


We fight not for glory nor for wealth nor honor but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life

2. What is the word for the small knife usually worn in the top of the sock?

3. What is the word for the late medieval two handed "great sword". Gaelic helps here!

Puzzle "solution":

Hope you didn't spend too much time looking for the 6 differences - because, well, there aren't any. Ah, oops! Sorry folks - April Fools Day - or the Scottish equivalent Huntigowk Day.
