[zoidberg]

Could someone kindly identify this tiny island community for me?

 

[claymore]

Yes.

[claymore]

On the coast

 

[madtam]

Actually I think it's just off the coast, on an Island

 

[Clancy Moped]

Somewhere bloody cold.

 

[SaltIre]

North Wegieland.

What a helpful bunch we can be at times - nothing seems to be too much trouble to us.
I always wonder why people - especially the zoyderburgs amongst us as such questions.
Do they really want to know or do they already know and are testing us?

 

[claymore]

North Wegieland.

Could be Bardowie or Mugdock then?

Scots think they were badly treated but they were never forced to live crammed so close together in a barren little island like that.

I wonder if that is where Tord came from
very friendly with a not very English fookball manager if I remember correctly.
Didn't think he'd have an island named after him though...
just saying

Is that the Swedish equivalent of Eilidh Burgh?

 

[Wansworth]

They must have lived on fish.

It's certainly not Craigallian Loch, for my father AND grandfather were regulars at The Fire. And I was taken, as a wee boy, to visit.

No, I really want to know where the island is.... and someone has given it a name, further down the page. I'm grateful, for now I'll have a think about adding it to the places I'd like to visit.

Apparently, it's around the corner from Molde, and a convenient distance from Lerwick.

Strange place. We were invited into someone's house for tea when we first went 20 yrs ago. It seems to have something of a religious aura and in spite of the friendliness we found nearby Store Dyren more relaxing, as well as harbouring crazy golf. Vinga is another quaint island. I always wonder why all these islands have a cleft.
