I prefer South Utsire, though it'd be harder to take a photo of there from an '8...

But he didnt name WHERE it was and neither did you confirm that he was correct in showing a photo of said un-named place.

A Pedant.

True, very true. I was being a bit coy in the hope that someone might be able to name where it was. It is in fact Glen Head, near the village of Glencolmcille in County Donegal.

The tower at the top is a Napoleonic Signal Tower. On the ExplorA8tion Ireland thread, I posted up a couple of photos from that same day:

If you look at the small insert of the first photo, you'll see this same tower.
