Nice to hear your recollections of a beautiful place! The cottages now have electricity,but thankfully no TV reception! Water is still from a spring and this part of Mull is still very unspoilt. The farmland is now run as an organic farm and eco-tourism business. We will be up there again in a week or two with our two children, I hope that they have such fantastic memories!

Hi Matt, Thanks for the message. When I first uploaded it there were no high resolution images for this part of the country! Your message has prompted me to change it - thanks!

It was taken a short walk up behind the caravan park / holiday cottages. i think I have got the location marked correctly now.

Great shot - the distortion in the heat trail really emphasises the power...

Photograph it from Earth not travel there! Can be done but not that easy if you've got the light pollution we have round here. Don't hold your breath but I'll do it one day. (Night sorry)

LOL at it being global warming.

Or just natural weather,this used to happen a lot in Hull before the days of "Global Warming"

Media driven drivel

I can remember when the Lightnings were being withdrawn, and they gave a final display at Binbrook. I will never forget seeing them taking off - one after the other, tearing down the runway, six feet off the floor with their undercarriage tucked away, then a sharp pull up, thundering vertically upwards, afterburners crackling... awesome.

Sutton what?

Thanks for your feedback on the Easedale photo, Matt. I first drove over this bridge 26 years ago. I lived in London then and it seemed immensely far away. Now I live in Oban and it's just round the corner. Funny how things work out! I'm hoping to visit Durness next week. Even from Oban, Cape Wrath seems immensely far away. Scotland's a far largely place than even Scottish people believe. Ian

I learned to swim the hard way here - when I was about 7 or 8 we stayed in Easedale, and took the little ferry (a man in a boat with an outboard motor) to the island. All the rest of my family could swim, and were having a great time swimming in the flooded mine. My dad told me it was time I learned to swim - and threw me in!

I learned to swim, very quickly!

Even in what looks like rather dull weather, it still looks beautiful! I can't wait to have another holiday there...
