This eye catching yacht has been covered with 60,000 mirrors as part of an art project called the Bonnie Boat which will be held on the island of Skye on the 10th September. The boat is called the Celeste and is inspired by the 1960s pirate station Radio Caroline.
The event program can be found here and the artist's web site here. Its one of those that uses the word "space" a lot.
The program ends with a call to "book your ticket for the ceilidh" - very tempting but alas not possible as I have family chores that day.
So I will not be following in the wake of Prince Charlie:
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
