Hospital at Salen

As far as I am aware, the building in the photo is the only NHS hospital for Mull, housing the casualty, out patients and x-ray departments for all of the island. It is also an old people's home.

Boats at the old pier, Salen

These three fishing boats have been tied up here at the disused pier to rot away. Odd how they look so attractive, when dumped cars and the like look so ugly.

Wrecks at Salen

Familiar to any visitor who's travelled up or down this road, these have been here for years and are immortalised on a local postcard too (a better picture than mine!).
