Now I understand, from your post David, that it was the grade of granite that attracted them. It's such a beautiful island though I didn't think they'd want to alter it's looks. I must admit I was linked to your picture and I didn't notice that you were a different person.

I'd love to visit Scotland!!! I have a lowlander grandfather from Dumfries and my great, great, great (they came to N. America in the 1700's) highlander grandparents came from the Isle of Barra.

Over the years my husband and I have eyed airline prices/accomodations/etc in Scotland and hopefully one of these years that dream will come true! :D

they no longer take granite from ailsa craig! I thought maybe you were just browsing google earth and came across my photos? I am glad you have Scottish ancestors and i expect you would sometime like to see the area from where they came from.All the best from "Bonnie Scotland" P.S. Isle of Barra is a beautifull isle.
