All I can say is that I don't think it's anywhere near Oban :!:

Canaries somewhere, at a guess.

Not really, as I've never been there. Looks nice, though.

Did you just fit boards over your big windae sashes, or did you cover the wee ones too?

We only fitted the boards over the big wans - reckoned the small ones wouldn't come in and if they did we could stuff something wee in them easy enough.

They are through-bolted with long pan headed ss bolts and neoprene washers, with dome head nuts on the inside. When not fitted (as in this season) the holes are filled with shorter bolts.

The place is Praiia de Vittoria on Terceira btw - a fine island with some interesting customs.
