Ootlier 6 is published today. Issue 6 explores the legacy of military remains at Rubha nan Sasan ("the point of difficulty") where a hastily-constructed coastal defence battery at Loch Ewe was abandoned 80 years ago. www.shopkdd.com/ootlier-6-ru... #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #history #WW2
