OK, I am the Doric Loon. It's rather a silly handle, when I come to think of it, but I found myself having to think of something fast. "Doric" is the dialect and culture of the part of Scotland I come from (round Aberdeen), and "loon" is the word in that dialect meaning "lad", "guy", "fellow" or whatever. As you see, it's frightfully original.

My particular enthusiasms are Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, literature, medieval studies, historical linguistics and migration studies, and you are likely to find me sticking my nose in wherever several of these interests come together.

Articles I have started, written, substantially re-written or otherwise taken under my wing in more than a passing way include:
