Where\'s this?

I couldn't get a phone signal, but managed to send a text from here

Bonus points if you can name the two islands just visible through the haze (not the rocks in the middle distance).

Re: Where\'s this?

I reckon one of the Islands has to be Dutchman's Cap, so could this be Ulva Sound? That will probably sound like a gynaecological joke to some people but those are real places even if I'm wrong.

Re: Where\'s this?

Right about Dutchman's cap and right about Ulva, but wrong sound. I was standing on Ulva when I took the picture. The "harbour" takes its name from the island dominating the middle ground of the picture.

Is it Gometra harbour?

Re: Where\'s this?

Yes, Gometra, I haven't been in there for about 20 years.

Re: Where\'s this?

Gometra harbour it is. The entrance requires care at high water . . . (that's Staff in the background)

. . . but once in, anchoring is a piece of cake.

Re: Where\'s this?

-- and the low point in front of Staffa in the first picture has a name which means 'broken oar point' in the Gaelic. Not many people know that.
