Rubha Mòr

Rubha Mòr is a remote peninsula in west Scotland, in the western region of Ross and Cromarty. The peninsula stretches from Greenstone Point in the north to the villages of Poolewe on the southern coastline and Laide on the northern coastline. The region immediately to the east of the peninsula contains Inchgarve Forest and Fionn Loch, which feeds via the Little Gruinard River into Gruinard Bay to the north. Further south are the forests of Letterewe overlooking Loch Maree, and northeast of Fionn Loch are the forests of Fisherfield and Strathnasheallag overlooking Loch Na Sealga.

Towns

The principal town in the area is Poolewe, on the southeastern flank of the peninsula. The A832 coastal road leads from Poolewe along the coast to the hamlet of Aultbea, whence a secondary B road leads west towards Mellon Charles, a former fishing and significant crofting hanlet. The A832 continues north, crossing the peninsula, until it reaches the northern coastline at Laide, where it turns southeast along the coast of Gruinard Bay, with another B road branching northward to the villages of Mellon Udrigle and Opinan on the western shore of the bay.

Rubha Mor is also a double entendre. When spoken it sounds like "Rub her more".

gollark: ... maybe these are just hard problems which they're working on, rather than some kind of conspiracy?
gollark: It seems like the problem here might be lack of systems to track and respond to demand, since I think lots of people probably would be willing to pay some money for a ventilator to be available if they need it during this pandemic.
