Andreas, You ARE joking about the CAlMac ferries?

Bob Bolton, Scotia is much reported to be the land where the Scots, who were the Irish explorers, settled - quite possibly they were called Scottii because they were dark-ish. I expect there IS a connection between "Hibernia" and "Iberia". I await further elucidation or obsfucation, as the case may be.
