Blood Attent. Evelyn Saunders

[Genevieve Price]

Yet again
 
Here's an example from Scotland of the use of Blood
 
 
 
Bloody Bay
Before reaching the end of the walk, a little  scramble up a steep forest 
track (L) will reveal a superb viewing point high  above the waters of Bloody Bay 
in the Sound. History records that in 1482 the  waters of the sea ran red 
with blood as John McDonald, the last Lord of the  Isles, engaged in a fearsome 
sea battle with his illegitimate son Angus. Many  were slaughtered, but Angus 
was victorious.

It means nothing more than blood was spilt, no Gaelic origin etc.
 
Do you want to put put Evelyn Saunders in touch with me at all? I've a  very 
good knowelge of Scotland and a research background in  History/Archaeology?
 
I'll shut up now!
