Geography Awry
Posted in BBC, Television at 20:13 on 23 December 2012
In the last episode of Waldemar Januszcak‘s excellent television series on the mostly unheralded art of the Dark Ages, where he covered the Vikings, the Carolingians and The Anglo-Saxons, he referred to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) as being off the North coast of Britain.
Tut-tut, Waldemar. That would make it in the Pentland Firth/Atlantic!
Lindisfarne is actually barely two-thirds of the way up Britain.
It is, however, off the North-East coast of England.
