Harry, I am sure you have put this one on as a wind up with the three different spellings for "SCOTSMAN'S"(There is no such word as scotman or recorded surname). Anyway your photo's are always of good interest and the Photo-a-day on Dec.9th is of a very high standard indeed.

Does it really matter Kenny, scotmans or Scotchmans.

The proper name is "Scotman's Flash"

Garry, Scotchmans is another new name for the flash.
Panc when was it named Scotman's. The flooded land was owned by a Scotsman.

Sorry Kenny, slip of the tongue or should I say finger, but I only did two I missed the 'c' on the fist pic, we've had this before Scotsmans or Scotmans, I have always known it as Scotmans Flash. I'm pleased that you find my photos interesting. H.

I have always known.the flash as Scotsmans? Surely ithe correct spelling is on record somewhere?

This discussion could go on indefinately, if you look on some maps it will show Scotmans Flash, google earth shows Scotman's Flash with an apostrophe, the signpost on Poolstock Lane reads Scotmans Flash, for further views and comments see photo a day 31/12/2012. Personally I don't think it matters what you call it just go there and enjoy it.
