God shots, always knew there were a fee old cars littering the isles but not that many! Could have hours of fun identifying some of that stuff, but I think I know this one  Engine and steering box say Rootes group, as those things shared mechanical parts it hard to say which one it is but I'm going with an early to mid 60's Hillman Minx  |

Cool pics, although as is the case with these things, I'm always shocked at how harsh the air is. It's like invisible acid! Do 25 year old people look 50? Chris |

It's like this on a pile of Irish islands as well, but usually not just as bad. It is true that islands tend to have problems with scrap cars. I presume it's about £50 for a car carrying ferry to the mainland?

Even a Nova Saloon there!

Great photos, I've never heard of the 'peat roads' before. I visited earlier in the year and it was superb, so many abandoned cars. There's a very post-apocalyptic look to modern-ish cars looking so decrepit.

There are a couple of scrappies up here and they seem fairly content with mainstream scrap without searching for more in out of the way spots, in amongst the photos is a few strange ones, a volvo estate 4x4? I'm no volvo man and i never realised they had done a 4x4! Also a mid 80's mustang, i knew that car when it was on the road and it was taken off due to failing its mot on a cracked screen, twas left and in no time was considered to rotten to save  |

Awesome pics and peat roading sounds fun lol
Always wondered how far inland cars usually are that are unaffected by the sea air? Anyone shed some light on this?
