@gbe: I like the contrast in this one, too. Oh! the joy of shooting expired film. Cheers, Grant!
From William Baille Hamilton’s Place Names of Atlantic Canada This name originates with the ‘folly’ of an early farmer, James Flemming, a native of Peebles, Scotland, who, against all advice, settled on a stony tract of land on west Colchester County. ‘Flemming’s Folly,’ as the location became known, has survived a number of changes in spelling — from ‘Folly’ to ‘Fawleigh’ to ‘Folleigh’ and back to the original, The community name was later changed to Glenholme; however, the first spelling survives in the name of a lake, mountain, and river.
