M na 8 gc - Madra na 8 gcos? Dog with 8 legs? Could that be it?

3 Inis of the Aran Islands doesn't sound right, like mixing Irish and English words is confusing unless that's how they're known? Is that they're usually called?

I thought 12 B was the 12 brothers until I saw another post said 12 bens which definitely makes much more sense!!

hannah b

You are a genius I have racked my brains on that one. Would 3 islands of the aran islands sound better

I thought of that too but then wasn't sure about how islands of islands sounds. The clues are normally very specific but whatever way I try this it sounds clumsy compared to the rest of the answers, if you get me? Prob over thinking it and trying to be a bit #35! Hah

Individually they are Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer but collectively they are The Aran Islands.
