LPG stands for liquid petroleum gas. It’s a by-product of refined crude oil. When it’s put under pressure, LPG turns into a liquid. It’s usually stored in this form. LPG is used as fuel for things like BBQs and camping stoves, as well as central heating.
Dunbeath
Dunbeath is a village in south-east Caithness, Scotland on the A9 road. It was the birthplace of Neil M. Gunn (1891-1973), author of The Silver Darlings, Highland River and so on, many of whose novels are set in Dunbeath as well as its Strath. Dunbeath has a really rich historical landscape, the website of various Iron Age brochs as well as a very early medieval reclusive site (see Alex Morrison's historical survey, "Dunbeath: A Cultural Landscape".) Of Dunbeath's landscape, Gunn composed: "These tiny straths, like the Strath of Dunbeath, have this intimate appeal. In boyhood we learn more about every square backyard of it. We encompass it physically and our memories hold it. Birches, hazel trees for nutting, swimming pools with trout as well as a periodically noticeable salmon, river-flats with the wind on the bracken and also vanishing bunny scuts, a wealth of wild flower and little bird life, the skyrocketing hawk, the unforeseen roe, the ancient graveyard, thoughts of the people who as soon as lived far inland in straths as well as hollows, the past as well as the here and now held in a minute of day-dream." ('My Little Bit Of Britain', 1941.). There is a neighborhood museum/landscape interpretation centre at the old town school.
