Thanks for the Stevenson poem
During the 70's I lived in Scotland and helped build a large stone multi
purpose theater 27 miles east of Inverness by the North Sea; one of the job
perks was to take R&R on a remote Hebridian isle of Erraid (roll the r's )
During the 19 th cent Stevenson lived on Erraid as a boy;( the cottage is stil
there ) his father was an engineer in lighthouse building; and much of the
Granite used to build English and some in the Americas lighthouses ( as
ballast)came from the quarries of Erraid.The pirate stories in kidnaped and
their place names can all be found on Erraid; Balfour Bay; is a nature
sanctuary and as good as place to play pirate as you will ever find. M
