Inch Kenneth, Inner Hebrides, Argyll, Scotland, UK. flickrhivemind.net/blackmagic" rel="noreferrer nofollow View on black Following a discussion about the safe keeping of colour film, I looked out some pictures taken 39 years ago using the system prior to the one in use today. Some people were suggesting that the colours would have faded and gone to yellow. Clearly, this is not the case. I keep my negatives in a cool dark place with a low relative humidity and all seems to be well. These photos are by no means the oldest colour negs in my collection. Inch Kenneth is fertile with fresh water springs and has been inhabited as a place of agriculture and religious ritual since Neolithic times with the receding of the last Ice Age around 10,000 years ago. My co-worker, Kenneth Millar, takes the tiller for the journey to Gribun on Mull. The short trip will take about 10 minutes. I worked on Inch Kenneth for the owner, Dr. Andrew Barlow, great grandson of Charles Darwin. The island had been home to the Mitford Girls from October 1938. Unity Mitford was very friendly with Hitler and lived in Germany just prior to the war. When hostilities were declared she shot herself in the head, but failed to find the right place and survived, albeit in an altered state. She returned to Inch Kenneth and spent the rest of her nine years in an incontinent raving state, looked after by her mother and sisters. The Mitfords sold the island to the Barlows in 1966, and whilst Andrew sadly died in 2006 aged 90, the island is still owned by the family. Dr. Claire Yvonne Barlow, Andrew's daughter, is a Senior Lecturer in Manufacturing Engineering at Cambridge University and attends to the upkeep of the island. I note from the Google Map view that the cottage that I lived in during my time on the island has been demolished.
