Atlas Obscura


Enjoy looking at remote places? The consider the website Atlas Obscura for some insights about North Rona. Look at the top picture and you see the peninsula where Frank Fraser Darling created a campsite where he lived with his family when studying seals in the late 1930s. The boat in the bay belongs to the Northern Light Cruising Company which could take you there. The image below is from the lavishly-illustrated blog of Marc Calhoun and reminds us of the frail hold on life experienced by permanent residents of the distant past.
