I confess that I got confused, though not precisely as surmised above. I now see that there are in North Uist, Cladach Chairinis; and a few miles west of it, Carinis (name as rendered by the map I consulted), which I'd failed to notice when I made my post, and which I take it, is indeed the place with the inn. I was flummoxed at time of posting, by the "searching" oddity which I've described; and by the consulted Michelin Britain Road Atlas's showing the Western Isles in a small and hard-to-make-out format (only 7 miles to the inch) -- those are my excuses, anyway...I think that you may be adding the names of two different places together as one.
If so, I'll take the first part and say that Carinish contains the modern Carinish Inn, once a landmark hotel in North Uist...
Plymouth also has a settlement in a British Dominion, named after it, with the prefix of "New": New Plymouth, New Zealand; and New Westminster, Canada (very near Vancouver).Whitehall in the City of Westminster was also a place where a monarch was executed: Mary, Queen of Scots at Fotheringhay; her grandson Charles I at Whitehall.

Seems that I'm less of a Broads expert than I'd fondly imagined -- sorry !(Chedgrave’s boundary is literally 100m from Loddon’s navigable staithe). Anyway, Filby is a notable bird watchers’ spot, as is Fairburn in Yorkshire.
