Dr Johnson at the Bullers

[edit]

Don't overlook Dr Samuel Johnson's description in his own account, 'A Journey to the Western Isles of Scotland.' Johnson is a much better witness of places and sights than Boswell, who was basically a superior reporter of gossip, and who freely admitted he had no taste for scenery and no ability to describe it.Bluedawe 06:31, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Referent of name

[edit]

It may be worth noting that, according to the Ordnance Survey, the name "Bullers of Buchan" refers not to the famous pot or cauldron but to the steep-sided cove which lies immediately south of it:

This name is given to rugged precipitous cliffs, situated on the south side of the "Pot" and the north side of Bobby's Haven. There is a small fishing village situated on the top of the cliff here, which is also called the "Bullers of Buchan".

The above description is old, but OS maps continue to apply the "Bullers" label to the cove and not the pot. Zacwill (talk) 08:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
