NF1099 : Sunrise on Conachair
taken 57 years ago, near to Oisebhal [hill or Mountain], Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Great Britain
Sunrise on Conachair
The shadow is cast by Oiseval. A view from the tank landing craft in Loch Hiort, waiting to beach after the overnight journey from Loch Carnan in South Uist. The white buildings are mostly those of the army station based there to track rockets fired from the Uists. Main Street is behind. The right hand of three images that would make a panorama.
St Kilda, 1967
These photos are a record from a two-week visit to St Kilda in September 1967, so their quality is not of the best as they were scanned from transparencies or prints of the time. It was an interesting expedition for two mycologists from Edinburgh, arranged through the auspices of the Nature Conservancy [Scotland], to record the fungi of the islands. We travelled courtesy the army's Royal Corps of Transport on their fortnightly tank landing craft service, and stayed in the Factor's House.
