Abstract
ON the morning of December 5, 1922, about 10.30 A.M. G.M.T., Mr. John Anderson, lightkeeper at the Cape Wrath Lighthouse, Durness, observed a mirage of an unusual character. Mr. Anderson focussed his telescope on a sheep which was grazing on top of a conical hill (height about 200 feet) about a quarter of a mile away, and immediately noticed an unusual appearance in the atmosphere around. On swinging the telescope slightly upward, he observed that a belt of the atmosphere appeared to be land and sea, giving a perfect representation of the whole of the coast line from Cape Wrath to Dunnet Head.
