Islet with purple flowers I thought at first that the purple flowers adding a dash of colour to this tiny islet in the middle of Loch a' Ghruagaich just south of Marvig (Marbhig) were rhododendrons - but on closer inspection I'm not so sure. They almost look like giant heather ... [Edit] Now confirmed - they are heather ... very healthy specimens !
