Perhaps you found a Scottish version of a Fata Morgana but this one is only visible from Google Maps, as soon as you actually go there, it's midges, dead fish, cracked earth and so on. Not very pretty unless you manage to enjoy the beauty of imperfection.

Good lord. having just looked at the images on google maps Ithink that may very well be the case! It looks like some lush tropical (as tropical as it can get in Scotland) paradise!
A Fata Morgana it is.
Do you remember a drink called Punica?
I do not. Was it was an alcoholic drink?
No, a late 80s 'tropical' kids drink,
The TV commercial showed a man crawling through the desert, begging for 'Punica'. Reminds me of Summer holidays in the South of France.
Lol. I don't think they had it here. They did have an awful tropical drink in which the advert and name was pretty racist, Um Bongo they called it. Truly it was a different time!
Haha!
Apparently Punica was a German drink. It was called Punica Oase ( Oasis ), hence the fata morgana connection / commercial / brainlink in my mind.
I can see the connection!! I presume it died a death in the past?
