Boreray, an island on the west side of the Isles of Lewis, across a shallow bay from Port nan long. Kind of midway up the Outer Hebrides.

Thanks, Geoff. I'm relying on you and other folks to set me right on these things. And I promise we'll get together on at least one of my next trips over there. I've got one coming up in July and more after that.

hm. Is Boreray? I thought it was Mull. Oh well. What a fun trip that was to the Hebrides. Yikes. That was like 20 years ago. I got my cowry shells on a certain beach o nSkye, north of Dunvegan-- supposed to bring me luck and an effortless return to Skye. Guess I'll have to poke around here some more for photos of Skye... my effortless return. I was hoping for better. ;)

Indeed, it is Boreray, although there are lots of islands that look sort-of like this. None of the photo tours I've taken have made me want more to visit a place on the ground than this half hour or less I spent at 38,000 feet over Scotland.

I like the imagination there in naming the Lochs

No imagination. The lochs do have names. See here.

Mor and Beag just mean big and small in Gaelic though. You can just imagine the folk who came to survey the Island asking the locals about the Lochs and being told 'Well thats the big Loch and thats the small Loch'! It's the same all over Scotland. Map makers asked what the name of a mountain was and the locals thought they were pointing to the sheep in the next paddock!
