Description

the Black Island

The villagers warned me not to go there!

A few miles off the coast of Scotland, on a rock piton, stands the lugubrious castle on this terrifying Black Island.
According to local folklore, the island is haunted by a wild beast.
But all the rumours I have been hearing for the last couple of hours sound rather suspicious to my ears.

The little rowing-boat on the beach had not been used for years, and after a brief inspection,
it just looks it was a sort of wreck, with a string of shells and algae hooked to its side.

So I had to rent a little motor-boat to a local fisherman.
The drawback of it, is that my approach of the island would be a bit noisy;
so I also borrowed a paire of oars, so I would be rowing on the last miles.
Courageous but not reckless, I also took a hunting knife, and my old and reliable friend, Walther PPK who never let me down.

Some kippers, biscuits, and a thermos of hot tea completed my pack.
And of course my faithful Snowy is always coming with me, and he looks very thrilled at the idea of a new escapade.

Shall I discover the truth behind all these local pub stories?
