I wrote:> When you say "Central Scotland", though, which area are
you referring to? ... All the possible locations for Hogwarts (as
designated in the Lexicon) are much higher, more or less aligned
with Aberdeenshire and Grampian Region. So it still could be a
mistake.>

more likely you are to see Venus late at night, so Hogwarts being
father north makes Shaun more right, not less.>
Me (now): I wasn't accusing Shaun of being wrong. The mistake I was
talking about was the possible one in the book. I was just wondering
if Shaun had made his astro-geographical (?) calculations himself,
or found them somewhere.
Steve again:> WOO-HOO! I get to plug my maps again. I have satellite
images of Scotland and have pick the best locations based on
terrain; mountains, lakes, rivers, absents of towns, railways, and
remote location.>
Me again:
Ah! It was *you*! I spent all of yesterday trying to work out where
on the net I'd seen these before, and couldn't find them. What
impact do any of these have on the facts of the astrology exam?
