Johan & Caisteal Maol

The now ruined Caisteal Maol gaurds the narrow strip of water between the

Isle of Skye and the mainland, legend has it the 10th century MacKinnon chief

and his Norse bride ran a chain across the waterway charging a toll on all

passing shipping vessels. The Johan, an old herring ring netting boat built in

1949 can be found sheltering in the small bay. Thanks for looking.

Wonderful image.  The boat looks really long.  Is this wide angle distortion?  Larry

Hi Larry, Shot at 50mm so it's a more or less how the eye would see it. Thanks for your comment.

Very moody and appealing! the flaking paint, the ancient ruins and the grey sky so typical of the area, all combine to make a most aesthetically pleasing image.

Best Regards

Thanks Alf
