Beautiful Place. My vote! Greetings from Basel

Thanks Jerome - being in the right place at the right time, helps!

Chris You are correct; It is Clashach Cove on the Ordinance Survey maps, which shares its name with the quarry, but it has been known as Primrose Bay by one local family, for well over a hundred years, with photos taken in the late 1890s of previous generations posing on the rocks by its edge. I know that coastline well, so would be interested in the coordinates of what you refer to as Primrose Bay. Sixty years ago, when I used to swim there as a boy, I can assure you that the sheltered slopes were covered in primroses, although more recently they are far less apparent. It is a beautiful and relatively unvisited part of the Moray Coast, and site of the discovery of prehistoric animal skeletons, in the quarry nearby, and early man, in some of the caves.

Please note for those who have suggested the location be moved to above the town of Tobermory, that the protocol in Panoramio is to locate the position FROM WHICH THE PHOTOGRAPH IS TAKEN. In this instance it was from an aircraft over the bay!

That's my school! lol they filmed a television series there too and shot up the place with rifles and bombs. Shame the school closed though. look at the other photos around here on google earth and you'll see why. Good times!

Beautiful part of the South Coast with a fantastic beach, and a very caring and concerned community to look after the area. Looking forward to returning at some juncture.
