| rughan Frangach | “Rughan Frangach” is more complicated. It would seem to be the “learner’s” or “stranger’s” or “foreigner’s” way of making a “rughan”. These amateurs would use the easy method of laying the peat lengthwise instead of on end as in the proper “rughan”. So a child might be told when his “rughan” keeps falling in – “Dean rughan Frangach”. The name is not in common use now however. (I find the local staff know it – delete last sentence.) [NOTES: again, the term appears in the above-mentioned peat questionnaire.] |
