That's the place Gareth.  The range is Garvie Island, off Faraid Head.  
The title "Cape Wrath" is just an indication as it's not too far from 
the target.  We used Cape Wrath as a fix to find the target when I was 
on Tornados (with the radar, it's called offset bombing), but when I 
was on Jaguars we accepted whatever the IN system told us and bombed 
the rock!

It would be a great place for photography, but my wife wants to go 
somewhere warm for our hols ...
