The old pier on Rum It can't be many years since the slipway for a ro-ro ferry was built further east from here as my 2002 edition map still shows this as the main pier.

Head of Loch Scresort The inhabited houses of Rum are all clustered around the head of this inlet, and I would guess that 90% of the ferocious Rum midges are to be found in this sheltered area as well. At the time of this visit there were reported to be 32 human residents on the island, but the midges were not due to make an appearance until May 14th, ten days after our visit.

Memorial to Irvine Butterfield Irvine Butterfield was a legendary hillwalker, environmentalist and author of several books about the Scottish Mountains. Although born in Yorkshire, he eventually moved north and spend much of his time exploring the Highlands. He held notable positions in the Munro Society, the Mountaineering club of Scotland, the Mountain Bothies Association etc. His ashes were partly scattered on Rum and also at Loch Clair in Torridon. The reverse of this memorial has words by William Blake.....'Great things are done when men and mountains meet. This is not done by jostling in the street.'
