Remember the Gavin Maxwell book about Otters "Ring of Bright Water" ? Well, this is where it actually happened - Sandaig (near Glenelg) or "Camusfearna" as it was known. No traces remain of the house as it burned down but what a location - it's like the Caribbean 😍😎🌴 #GavinMaxwell #RingOfBrightWater #Otter #Sandaig #Camusfearna #AerialPhotography #Drone #Scotland #Beach #Hideaway #Adventure #Novel #Writing #NatureStories
