doesn't say if its logs or dressed wood, timber could mean either, so we'll need to wait to see if theres going to be a flurry oh new sheds going up on skye, its amazing how far a boat can drift, i remember the big russian trawler that was abandoned away SW of the mull of O'a, it ended up coming ashore about two mile south of the north end of gigha, it was still there when i last passed that way a lot of year ago now tho, is there anything left? i know the locals allegedly liberated anything useable.
And their teeth will be blunted like lions and they will be cast away on whirlwinds and such!!!!

be interesting to see if it does 'shed' (sorry!) its load, or part of it, how the 'authorities' would try stop local people from 'tidying up the beaches' like they did on the south coast last year, given the remoteness
'Timber Galore'
for gawds sake it was a load of timber, that had become unsaleable, they really don't like us to get owt for nowt in this country anymore, they'd rather pay a contractor several thousand to remove it than let us poor plebs do it for them for nothing
easy to hide it though it does come ashore, build a shed out if it then hide the rest inside it, they'd never think of looking there.
