Legend?

edit

The article refers to it as a 'legend'. Is it legend or historical? RJFJR (talk) 16:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Apostrophe

edit

Where does the apostrophe go? Turra' Coo or Turra Coo'? RJFJR (talk) 16:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good point, since they're different in the article title and lead! I'd suggest after "Turra", since that's a corruption of Turriff, whereas "coo" is simply a Scots way of saying "cow", but this is just a guess really in the absence of a reference: I note that the external link provided is currently failing. – Kieran T (talk) 16:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sounds reasonable. In the absense of any information to the contrary I'm chanign the heading to match the title. RJFJR (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Just by way of belated correction, Turriff is a corruption of Turra, and any apostrophies are further corruptions. Thincat (talk) 13:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
