Well I reckon it's Brodick from Goat Fell, with Holy Island and Lamlash Bay in the background.

Why do they call it "Undiscovered Scotland" when someone has already taken lots of photographs of it?

"Undiscovered Scotland"

Post by Telo »

"Undiscovered Scotland" was the title of a marvellous book by the late Bill (WH) Murray, a leading climber and moutaineer in the 30s and 40s. The website is, in part, a tribute to Murray's book. Murray also wrote the biography of "Rob Roy" in the early 80s. Shamefully, he was not given any credit for his work in the film, of the same name, which leant heavily on his work.
