BLUEMOMENT

Fancy a bottle of this for my collection after I have bought a new autohelm unit first though.

Judging from what I know of Erse, would I be wrong thinking that it means something like "Dark Haven" or "Dark House"?

Google translator Irish to English gives it "Red River"

Clearly, you do not know yer Erse ......

Red Burn or River - often spelt as Abhuinn. Crops up in Scotland and England as the River Avon which is tautological.

Brush up your Erse, by Ken Bruce I believe, may help.

At £150 for a half litre, it looks as if I'll need to form a consortium in order to get a sniff of it.

Well William - 10 like minded souls stumping up £15 - but it'll be a very wee nip

Thanks Donald, I had to learn gealic (Erse) when at primary and secondary but always hated it and never had any interested in it as it took me all my time to get to grips with the English grammer, just about.
The only complete bit of gealic I can remember is one prayer.
I remember the gealic word for red is Dearag, similar to Dearg.
Never learned what tautological means
