"Is Inverness near Cornwall?"

Err no! Inverness would be a city in Scotland - a country found north of England - and Cornwall a place on the south coast.

"Oh, because I thought of the stone circles."

Do you mean Stone Henge? 

"Yes"

This question came from my year 12 Leistungskurs - oh dear. No wonder their teacher thought I should teach them a bit about Scotland before they go on a trip there... Their English may be good, but their Geography is shocking!
