Alone at dusk on Ardnave Island, off the north-west corner of Islay. The ruined building is an old church, but the chimney is a much later edition, for processing kelp. A quiet spot, with only the porpoising seals disturbing the silence.

I know kelp is used for Iodine, but how is it processed?
Sad man that I am, I know a bit about this. I’ll post up something about it in the next week or so…
