My name is Tony Oliver and I run this web site in my spare time. I apologise that this is not a very interesting page!
First, this is not an 'official' site about Coll, whatever that may mean, it is my site and I'll put my hand up if you have any queries or issues. The plus side, as I see it, is that I have no one to answer to. If you don't like my site you may freely look elsewhere for inspiration about this wee island, I will not be offended.
Nothing on this site is 'law' or 'the gospel', most of it's just opinion or gathered information from elsewhere. I endeavour to keep all important information as up to date as possible but I am NOT responsible for any errors or mishaps in your travel or accommodation arrangements should anything go wrong following what you may have read, or thought you may have read, here. If you have issue with anything or have any comments please address them to me or the author of individual pages. Comments attached to a pint (real ale please), or a large Caol Ila, will receive my utmost and preferential treatment.
I try to get as many others as possible involved in this site. E.g. John Fraser has written an excellent page about our Fire & Rescue Team, and more are being arm twisted into doing similar.
Accommodation, artisans, eating out and shop pages are written by their respective owners and they are responsible for their content and keeping their pages up to date.
- Copyright of this site and programme code belongs to Tony Oliver.
- Copyright of images and text associated with accommodation, eating out, artisans and shop pages belongs to the authors of those pages and they should be asked before any images are used.
- Copyright of images on the visitors photos page belongs to each photographer (hopefully) and they need to be asked before any image is used.
- Copyright of ALL other images (i.e. the vast majority) belongs to Tony Oliver and it's illegal to steal my pictures. The only page where you may download images is the Free Wallpapers page and these may only be used as wallpaper on your computer.
- All mapping of Coll is based on a 1947 O.S. map and O.S. retain copyright to that. However, the copyright of this interpretation/design and actionscript code of the mapping belongs to Tony Oliver.

Techie Stuff:-
This site is best viewed on a monitor at least 1024 pixels wide and is best viewed with Flash Player v6 (or later) installed. Some companies sadly forbid the showing of Flash and/or scripting on their office computers, in which case your enjoyment may be limited. The same flash files are actually banned by Apple from showing on their iPod, iPhone and iPad - please take this up with Apple as it's quite simply, disgraceful.
If you find any issues with different Operating Systems and/or web browsers, please tell me.
The site is regularly tested on Linux Ubuntu: Firefox 3 & Google Chrome; MAC: Firefox 3 & Safari 5; PC: Firefox 3, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 8, Opera 10 & Safari 5.
The menu system on this site does NOT work properly on a PC using Apple's Safari web browser versions 3,4 or 5, the drop down menu gets lost behind the images. Please take this up with Apple. To overcome this I suggest you either buy a MAC (Safari works fine on the MAC) or use Firefox, Chrome, Opera or even Internet Explorer on your PC.
Currently this site isn't particularly mobile phone friendly. Mobiles don't work on Coll so there's little point in my owning one, however, I am currently monitoring the percentage of mobile phone hits and will consider some action if the number becomes significant. |
