Scotstorm Impact

a fearful presence of a high water mark impacting upon a passing vehicle; and something sinister about the surging force of waves off the west coast of Islay captured by James Deane.


For a 45-second video of the western shores of Mainland Orkney go to the BBC website. Share the experience ... in comfort and safety.
