NB5660 : Cliff top monument at Meall Geal
taken 26 years ago, near to Port Sgiogarstaigh, Isle of Lewis And Harris, Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Scotland
Cliff top monument at Meall Geal
The monument is to John Wilson Dougal, the founder of a chemical company in Edinburgh, and an amateur geologist. For many years he explored the geology of the Outer Hebrides, and was the first to describe their flinty-crush rock formations. Dougal wrote up many of his island adventures, and after his death they were published in Island Memories, a jewel of a book for anyone interested in the Hebrides.
