Correct wobbly. Fascinating place but don't go in the middle of summer.

Monemvasia, Greece?
I'd be curious to know the Byzantine connection!

Edit - oops, didn't see this had already been answered. Carry on.

There's more out there. The town pictured is a very well preserved Byzantine town.

No more guesses. This Scottish location is a vey remote location by UK standards and few venture out this far.

As we are so close I will give it to you! This is a much lower point than Beinn Mhor, I think it is just out of view in the photo.
This photo is looking south from the high point of Benbecula, which is Rueval (127m).

Brautarholt seems to be part of Reykjavik. North of there.
