Too funny! This guy doesn’t know if he wants to go wadding or stay dry looking at the lake. Move to the right for a view of the lodge.

Beautiful scenery and the lodge is great... The guy is Wet or Dry.

Not sure how appropriate this is, but how about this Scottish island that's for sale, for a paltry $2.3M...

This is strange, but I see six sets of two rings connected by a bright square between the two. Then there are a number of smaller dots around the rings. These are located in the bay on the east side (right side) of the island. I have no idea of what they are.

Then if you move to the left (west side) of the island, next to the other smaller one you can see a long rectangle made up of seven smaller squares in the bay. What are these things and why are they there?

Yes, I saw them both too, and wondered. No idea.

Here's a piece about the island. They claim it's self sufficient, and I wonder if those things may be tidal electric generators? Could the rectangle be something like a floating shellfish farm?

^^^ I think you might be right on the tidal electric generators and floating fish farm.

They must have some serious generator capability because I see nothing on the island to burn for heat -- no trees or peat, and no solar panels.

Anyway, I sure would love to try living in such a place!

I sat for an hour on a bench across the road from this tiny dwelling, and wondered.
