Scottish Islands Explorer - November-December 2016

NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2016 SCOTTISH ISLANDS EXPLORER 5

VISION FOR 2020

David Hoult writes: The islands of

Scotland boast some beautiful

and distinctive golf courses. The

latest is currently under construc-

tion at Ardfin, on Jura, and it is

likely to be among the more

impressive. Many existing ones

are also in wonderfully scenic

locations. On which islands are

the following golf courses

located?

1. Machrie


2. Askernish


3. Dale


4. Sconser


5. Cleat


6. Shiskine


7. Scarista


8. Vaul


9. Skaw


10. Balvicar

Courses

Here we are with the final issue of 2016 and 17 years of publishing complete. The magazine

started on Fair Isle, moved to the south coast of England and has now settled down in ...

Suffolk, with a back office on Lewis. It’s that time of year when the need to keep-in-touch is

paramount and what better for a present than a publication which keeps on coming (through

the letter-box) for a whole year or beyond?

Clarification

The St Kilda gannet colony figure (quoted in the

September / October 2016 edition) was, indeed,

60,000 pairs of breeding birds, but in 2014 the

Bass Rock became the world’s largest Northern

Gannet colony with 75,000 pairs of birds.
