Really wanted to do a reverse shot right along through the circle structure and out but the weather had other ideas. It was windy with pretty strong gusts so didn't want to risk it.

I think that is one of the most creative and beautiful contraptions ever built. Thanks for sharing.

PS: Why 'Coconut Island' for a Scot? Didn't know cocunuts grew in Scotland.

Fascinating, great video, but what the heck is this structure used for?

The village I live in has always had the nickname 'coconut island'. There are a few stories why but I don't think anybody really knows if any of them are true.
