Tweedsmuir?

No wonder you Brits have such a great sense of humor...er...humour.

Thanks for the lead (rimes with tweed) about the isle of sheep, but I've picked the island whereon and/or wherein the future ex Mrs. Baurle and I will raise our melkorian brood: Tol Galen. It's an island islanded by the twigging of the river Adurant, in Ossiriand. From what I've gathered in dreams and visions, it's populated mostly by coneys and moorhens. Turkish fowl are supposed to be good eating.
