Tinkers hole, Pig Island, Torran rocks or David Balfour bay for the literary landmark?

Bogany point to port, and just out of sight Toward Bank.....

Definitely a guess....

Starts in Holland and ends in Germany?

American Pie - must be the Mississippi. I thought it looked tantalisingly familiar - I've flown over the Mississippi delta and the ship channel (in an airliner).

Yes indeed it is the Mississippi. The very end of it. Technically, I was looking for the start State and the end State, Minnesota and Louisiana respectively, but it’s been a long haul getting here. Thanks everyone.

Ah, but then we could have had an argument about whether the river was actually the Mississippi or the (considerably longer) Mississippi-Missouri, with its source in Montana.

A good anchorage, name the bay, what is the significance of the cottages regarding the anchorage.

Could it be Gometra (South) Harbour? If so the cottages were once occupied by boatmen who rowed passengers ashore to Staffa from the MacBrayne's steamer. (A journey I undertook as a child about 1955.)

[Aja]

St Ninian's Bay, Bute? No road to the cottages.

Lowlandman's Bay, Jura? Former coastguard cottages.

[Aja]

Yeah! Not often I get these things, but home turf.

Nice Anchorage in the right wing.
