Specifically here. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Clachtoll&hl=en&ll=58.177141,-5.27421&spn=0.008542,0.015471&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.668567,31.68457&t=h&hnear=Clachtoll,+Highland,+United+Kingdom&z=16&layer=c&cbll=58.177084,-5.273971&panoid=cTTAQ_JLtvU8nYIkdd1igQ&cbp=12,145.92,,0,14.47

I can remember when it looked like this.




There's a film of course.

I tried to get a cover shot of the BCM in 2007 and 2010, this one holds a few memories.



I've been experimenting with making some of my films available at appropriate times, so I've made these two public again.

The letters page is getting a bit feisty. I think Boab should pen something to set things straight.

[Does this Victoria Huffton actually exist? Or was it a cunning ploy to get the Letters Page bulging again?]

Where was it? I recycled the back of the insert to draw map (as it was a nice big blank page, nothing else enclosed.
