"God Is Love" in Tobermory

A bit of history today for you. the following text was taken from the Manor House in Obans website.

"Admiral Otter, who was most aptly named, for he could swim and dive like that amphibious animal. The Admiral was appointed to carry out the Hebridean Survey of dangerous waters of the West Coast, a task that took twenty years to complete. He was a deeply religious man and belonged to the sect of the Plymouth Brethren. When visiting the Islands in his naval vessel it was his custom to conduct evangelistic services at the ports. He and his sailors painted Bible texts on the rocks of Lorn. The sea has obliterated all of them except the one on the rock face near Tobermory Pier, where the huge letters of the text "God is Love" have been kept freshly painted every summer by seafaring men for well over 100 years."

A fascinating piece of history made more so by my finding it!

A few flurrys of snow in Tobermory today, but nothing on the ground.
