Is it on the mainland or in the Outer Hebrides?

Had to look that one up. That would be an interesting place to get a canoe up to, and that's what I'm floating in...

Too far north I'm afraid.

I am paddling towards an island which contains treasure of ancient vintage and unusual locaiton. However, I have been warned that taking any of it away from the island would bring me the worst possible luck.

Weeeeeelllllllllll, the Inner sound is away in the distance, between Skye from Braes to Trotternish and Raasay but the main body of water in the picture has a name - Loch na Cairidh, being the opening of Loch Ainort into the Kyles of Scalpay . But you can have that anyhoo. Since I'm feeling generally well disposed and haven't keel-hauled anyone for a while...
