aha, now I see where it is - from what you have told me in this comment below. I got fooled by where you said "bonnie scotland" in your notes. Congrats on the winners' list.

Hiya Andrea, Taal is a Volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It's quite an angry volcano with 33 historical eruptions, hence the anger element. When it comes to volcanoes, the usual suspects are always mentioned, Etna, Vesuvius and Popocatépetl. No one thinks of Taal, it's quite unusual, James :) :)
