naming my windvane

My windvane is still under construction. A few day's hard labour would have him in going order, but I'm not into hard labour.

I've made one vane block, but it didn't work. Its a tricky piece to fashion from hardwood. There are holes drilled at odd angles, the clock is then thinned down to make the holes which house the vane sail, shallower. A metal clamp is then bolted over to hold the vane sail in place. Its complicated. I need to make another.

So naming is a bit premature. he's had a working name of "Forest". I found Forest Gump's capacity to continue running across America and back, totally fitting. Having sailed with a Navic (aka Plastimo) windvane previously, I am aware of a windvane's capacity to endure. 

This evening the fictional element of FG is bothering me. I need something real, something Scottish and hard. That nation's highland warriors would fit the bill, but I was hoping for an identity with better karma. So The Flying Scotsman has hit me. Google tells me its the name of a train. A train famous for speed and durability, taking passengers. between London and Glasgow. Apparently it was also the first steam locomotive to "hit the ton", one hundred miles an hour. That could fit.
