treshnish sunset

Another wee mull memory. Sunset over Bac Mor (the Dutchman's Cap). Interesting to me as my granny on Mr mothers side was a De Groote from Wick. A decent of Jan de Groote the Dutch ferryman who obtained a grant for the ferry from the Scottish mainland to Orkney recently acquired from Norway from James IV, king of Scotland in 1496. The town was named after him, John o' Groats. I wonder if he wore a Dutchman's cap?
