Re: Peregrine falcons at Worcester Cathedral

The word originally meant "foreign," as did its Latin predecessor peregrinus. But even before peregrine appeared on its own in English, it was part of the name of that well-known bird of prey, the peregrine falcon. The bird's appellation derives from "falco peregrinus"—literally, "pilgrim falcon" in...

Re: Chaos in Scotland.

One of the contenders in the election is Kate Forbes, who as a former SNP 'Finance Minister' should be in a good position to advise on the current (ALLEGED) financial improprieties.
