Isle of Hoy, Orkney, Scotland
Cantick Head Lighthouse where Brittany and I stayed for three nights. Probably the best place ever.

Eigg
The Isle of Eigg is a pretty excellent place. They were the first island to set up a trust to buy back the entire island and now are also completely energy independent with hydro, wind, and solar power of their own. The island is also home to some amazing geology and every other person seems to play music professionally (so about 40 musicians). I really have to read Alistair McIntosh‘s book Soil and Soul to get a better picture of how the buy-out happened in 1997, but so far I’m impressed if you can’t tell. My first trip to Eigg was to meet people and try and get a feel for the place. I’m hoping to head back in a week to take some better pictures and more portraits. I also took a bunch load of film.
Getting there… camping in Mallaig and the small isles ferry in the background:

People on Eigg produce the smallest amount of rubbish I’ve ever seen. Trash cans are rare sites.
