[Talk-GB] Loch Lomond National Park sorry for 'Giro Bay' map

[Barnett, Phillip]

There are no buildings there, according to the OS, and I can't see any buildings on Google Earth photos. The bay is between some wooded islands in the middle of nowhere. It's a peculiar story.
There are some boats visible - maybe there are houseboats there ....
