However, something odd happened on Tuesday, June 29, when we received hundreds of additional page views.

There doesn't seem to have been any reason for this, and I wondered if anyone else had noticed if there had been some publicity or story released about the camp at the start of the week.

Concerns over missile range jobs

The MoD is reported to be due to issue a statement about the sites on Wednesday, June 17, but has already denied that the sites are to be mothballed.

Islanders' views on the establishment of the range were the subject of a 1961 documentary, Rocket Range Benbecula. ]]> Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:02:24 Apollo http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1243107942/ http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1243107942/#num1
The peg is in the wrong place for Shelter Park.  This is not to say that the camp did not involve the field marked just that I know of no huts on it whereas Shelter Park did have huts.

There's another further south just on the edge of the double wavy lines formed by trees further down the hill.
Did anyone get a look at these during the site visit?]]> Mon, 4 May 2009 14:15:55 the_historian http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1239526610/ http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/forum/forum/m-1239526610/#num1
Yesterday I took my spotting scope and scoped the hillside from 2 places south of St. Catherines and then from north of Inveraray and then south of Inveraray.  This yellow triangle was the only thing I could spot.  Is it the northern transept marker?

It seems that the Toward Lighthouse was gas powered, not paraffin powered for much of its life. This explains why the modern (plastic) gas main runs right down the lane to Foghorn Cottage beside the lighthouse. The gas supply would originally have come from the Innellan Gas Works in Cluniter Lane.   The site was put up for sale a couple of years ago with the stipulation that it could only be used for gas purposes. As far as I know there were no takers.

The paraffin story comes from a store in one of the buildings which has always been known as the Paraffin Store. Never make assumptions!
