Today's highlight was a flight over Cramond Island, near Edinburgh. The island is connected to the shore by a causeway upon which sits a line of concrete pylons, 3m high. These were installed during WW2 to prevent torpedo boats passing between the island and mainland at high tide to attack naval assets upstream. The island is now uninhabited and can be accessed at low tide with a fifteen minute walk along the causeway. The extra is a view of the island, with Fife visible in the distance.
