I love the wildness of Esha Ness.
I don't think I've ever arrived at Esha Ness, and not immediately gone "wow". Sometimes at the car-door ripping strength of the wind and always at the sheer grandeur of the volcanic landscape.
If you stand at the Esha Ness Lighthouse - it's a little lighthouse, it can afford to be little since it's on top of a 200 ft cliff - and look out to sea, you feel like you are on the edge of the world.
If you look North, aside from the little bump that is Muckle Oss and Little Oss, there's nothing else in that direction, until you start going down the far side of the world
If you look West there's nothing until you hit the southern tip of Greenland.
Esha Ness is the proof the that world is filled with amazing places. I think that it would be a pity to spend all your life in one place, without getting to know what the rest of the world is like. Without traveling, our life is insignificant.
