My gran used to do two thousand + word jigsaw puzzles. This would make for a tricky one. The name Taughannock sounds like it has scottish origins. Bannock/Kilmarnock for instance. Anyhow, let the technically useful C&C begin...

Thanks lain.
According to wickpedia
Several possible sources have been proposed for the name Taughannock, all of which describe Native American origins. One translation suggests that the name is derived from a combination of Iroquois and Algonquin terms[20] meaning "great fall in the woods".[21] An alternate theory suggests that the name may refer to a Lenni Lenape (Delaware) chief named Taughannock who died near the falls during a battle.[21]
