Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 90mm gun taken from an armed merchantman wreck During the Second World War, and armed merchantman went down off Coll. This gun was later recovered by a team of divers led by one known as "Grumpy Pete". From another geograph, I see that the gun was formerly sited, very rusty, near the Coll Hotel. Grumpy Pete died and islanders decided that his gun should be cleaned up and mounted here, overlooking Loch Eatharna. Alongside sits a seat bearing the message "To those who pause and take a seat, spare a thought for "Grumpy" Pete". |
