I thought someone would have found it by the boat. It is an island 

You mean the boat's name is an island, not the place?

[IBM]

No the place is an island. If you look closely at the boat it should help to find the island

Can't quite make out the name of the boat, if that's what you are referring to.

Can make out some letters, but they don't make sense to me.  Enhancing with edge detector filters doesn't help.

Only one of its kind that you have seen.   A whaler?

A concrete boat

Ha! A giveaway.

"A concrete barge, the Cretetree is beached in the harbour of the Isle of Scalpay near Tarbert, Harris, Scotland. She was built by Aberdeen Concrete Ships, and completed in 1919."

Explains why I couldn't get Portree or Tiree out of the letters that I made out

That's it. I think it is still there.

Jeez, I was in Scalpay about 3 weeks ago. Wish you had posted it earlier, I would have looked for it

You will need to have a look for it next time you are over

[The Mantis]

Where's this?

[IBM]

It's a hostel somewhere in Sutherland I think I will need to have a proper look on the PC latter

Right again

This will be a hard one but Mantis might get it.

It’s got a Caithnessy feel about it, maybe around Dunnet but I haven’t got access to the wee yellow man for a few days

No it's an island I thought you would know   I didn't take the photo it was sent from a friend.

No there are not many green hills in Benbecula

Mantis must have spent all his time in the distilleries when he was on his holiday

Yes that's it the place my grandfather was born, I put it on as Mantis had posted one of Port Askaig on the Ferries thread that he took last week.

Here is one nearer home.
