Shinty was played over two thousand years ago in Caledonia by the Picts. It was introduced by the Celts from Ireland where it is called Hurling. From it developed the modern games of Field Hocky, Ice Hocky and Lacrosse. Some shinty players have asserted that Quidditch, the fictional sport in the Harry Potter book and film series by J.K. Rowling was inspired by Shinty.
Fea bathed the sailor. He had a rash with large pustules, some the size of her finger all over his face and most of his body. The skin had turned a dull dark colour. He had a high fever and was vomiting.
A number of monks and sisters gathered at the doorway of the infirmary. They discussed in hushed tones the unprecedented event of a sister working in the male infirmary.
