I think I wrote something on Phil-Lit about Moot Hill and the Stane
of Scone. As I remember, Moot Hill was where lords gathered to
decide who would be king of Scotland, so the Nispissing Electors or
the Nispissing Bloodthirsty Treacherous Thugs might be historically
appropriate.
But by association of North Bay with the northernmost inhabited point
in Britain, we come to the Nispissing Muckle Fluggas, an excellent
name I think. Muckle Flugga is on the north end of Unst, just south
of Out Stack, which is barren. Muckle Flugga has a lighthouse. What
better symbol of a moot point than a beacon of light, silently flashing?
