Hoe Rape, Inverness-shire, Scotland
Where the Tools Were Sharp and the Name Got Sharper!
Description: A small rural spot near the farmland folds of the Black Isle, Hoe Rape is one of those names that makes folk blink twice and then laugh once they realise it is older, simpler and far less scandalous than it sounds. It sits among fields, hedgerows and quiet tracks shaped by centuries of work and weather.
