What is the name of the famous prehistoric monument located just west of Amesbury?

A giant and ruler of Britain in Welsh mythology, they appear in several Welsh texts, but their most significant appearance is in the Mabinogi, the earliest of the Welsh stories, belonging to the Matter of Britain. In the tale, the king of Ireland sails to Harlech to meet our subject, who is the high ruler over the Island of the Mighty - the Irish King wishes to marry their sister, Branwen, which would forge an alliance between the two islands. They agree, but the celebrations are cut short when the high ruler's half-brother Efnysien brutally mutilates the Irish King's horses in response to not being consulted about the marriage. As compensation, our subject gives the Irish King a magic cauldron that can summon the dead and the marriage continue as planned.

The half-brother continues to insult the Irish King, but eventually, our subject's half-sister would fall victim to abuse, sending a message by a Starling with hopes that it would reach her brother (our subject). The giant high ruler wades across the Irish Sea with their brother Manawydan and a huge host of warriors, the Irish attempt to make peace (albeit with a trap planned), but they see through the ruse and during a vicious battle, the high ruler has to sacrifice themselves in order to prevent the Irish from using the cauldron to resurrect their dead.

The survivors, following the orders of our now mortally wounded high ruler, cut off its head to return it to Britain. The head continues to speak, entertaining those in Harlech, before moving on to Gwales where they live a further 80 years. Eventually, the head would fall silent, and it was taken to White Hill where they buried it, facing France to ward off invasion. All in it is a truly mystical tale full of intrigue and one that is well worth reading into further...

The living personification of frost, ice, snow and everything in-between, this man is responsible for colouring the leaves in autumn (quite literally, sometimes he is shown as having a bucket and paintbrush) and most notably nipping at your fingers and toes in colder weather. Depending on the legend, he can be considered a man of mischief, a hero and maybe not even a man; some legends show him as a sprite-like figure. His story has been told many times through media, in song or on screen, that you have almost certainly seen this chilly fellow.

Round 2 - How the song starts...

Given the opening lyric of a song, can you successfully identify the song? This will only count the first actual lyric of the song, so no "Woos" and "Yeahs" here!

A few stolen moments is all that we share

You know when a river is described as "important for Salmon and Whisky production" it is going to be in Scotland. Another Scottish river born of a loch sharing its name, the river descends through the countryside heading east before once again expanding as it arrives at a dam. The flows beyond the dam continue through the countryside, turning north and passing through Loch Insh and meets with the river Druie at Aviemore, before continuing on to join the Sea - somewhere familiar to anyone who has visited the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre. It may not pass through many major settlements, but it is the fastest flowing river in Scotland, and its distilleries produce more Whisky than those in any other region.
