This picture really should have been posted between Ullapool and Mellon Udrigle because that's where it is on the map. I guess I just thought of the opposite of Edinburgh during the Festival and this is it.
Gruinard Island, of course, is where the Ministry of Defence dumped a load of Anthrax in Whenever it was. You might think that's why it's a bit off the tourist track but really it's only the detemind and those who can do without a drink on a Sunday come up this far.
This is "Wee free" Country and whether you agree with strict Refomation Theology or not, I suspect it's the ethos of the people here, which has blocked any attempts to exploit the area for serious commercial gain, so far at least.
Some years ago now a friend and I spent a week, just here. We could have spent the whole time just watching the view because it changed from minute to minute with the changing light.
