Not anothe Fin Whale

Strange animals have been washed up on Coll again. Not a fin whale this time, and up the East End, which probably explains a lot. Six deer, probably red and definitely hinds, tied together and not skinned or gutted lay on the sand. The coastguard said it was a matter for the police, but I gather the tide has taken them away again. They were in good nick, the eyes were still OK so the meat would have been fine, if half cured into venison bacon, but law-abiding Coll now knows not to remove anything which might be ‘The Queen’s Fish’ so the carcasses were left. The favourite theory is poachers towing the deer by boat and thinking it prudent to let them go, but whether they were from Rum or further West is anybody's guess. Anyone out there want to confess?

Are you sure it was the tide that took them?

OK, OK, it was me. I took them. We Shot six, had to let them go when chased by a gun boat but only managed to retreive two from coll beach. Found out later that the coast gaurd took two, the police took another pair and the locals were too slow to capitalise. Never mind. Better luck next time. Salt meat, cant be beat......
