Afternoon all
In October, i'm planning a brief visit to Skye for around 3.5 days. One of the places I'd like to have a nosey at is Elgol.
Now, I've been there already but I didn't head for where a certain Mr Cornish went I went down on the headland that faces onto Rum.
Having mentioned JC I was wondering where it was done. I remember going on the beach and saw this huge honeycomb rock just near to the small school. I presume that wasn't the place and that is further on.
Anyone like to confirm that?
Thanks
PS Got a lovely shot of Rum under some great skies!

Re: Elgol
I can't think of the shot you mean, but the cover of First Light with that round almost canonball-like rock is just a bit further round from the school and that honeycombed rock, facing directly out towards garbh bheinn on the cuillin - its a very well known and popular spot.

Re: Elgol
Yes, that is the one!
I did wonder if I should have walked further on.
Right, the wait until mid-October begins...

Re: Elgol
And it looks less round than you might expect from JC's shot (well that was 8 years ago so who knows?).
