[edit] List of suggestions

Here is an embyonic list of suggestions for future listings. Please feel free to add to it, cos it'll help when we are all out of ideas! --Mais oui! 12:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

• Albert Kirby Fairfax, 12th Lord Fairfax of Cameron
• The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) is the oldest teachers' trade union in the world
• There is a long running thread (over six years old) in the Notes & Queries section of the Guardian Unlimited talkboards, with variations on the phrase 'How Tall Is Kenneth McKellar?'. Currently it is called 'How Tall Is Kenneth McKellar? The Loftiness Confirmation Quest Goes On...' Named after a Billy Connolly comedy routine, the thread is a home for quick-witted Caledonian whimsy, amongst the neverending height-assertion quest.
