Single Malts - and other odd Musings

The Mointeach

© August '11  by smck
The shore to the east of the mouth of Grand River has been called The Mointeach (mawn-yuck) since out of time by the descendants of the early Scottish settlers .  A Gaelic word meaning something like 'the place of the peat', it aptly described the composition of the overlying soil that had formed over centuries by composting marsh plants.  This day the waves were rolling in and up the beach in wondrous display.
