A memory from 2010, as the wreck of the Wyre Majestic has now pretty much completely disappeared. The ship ran aground in 1974 just off Bunnahabhain in the Sound of Islay.

Haven’t done this for a while (the picture is a few years old), but it’s quite good fun when you do it (responsibly of course, below the high water line, so that it will be washed away during the next high tide). Managed to balance 10 stones on top of each other near the old wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay.
