STRONTIAN
This small village some 17
miles southwest of Fort William stands at the
mouth of a picturesque valley overlooked by the
mountain Ben Resipol (2,774ft) near Loch Sunart.
The village is linked to the discovery of the
radioactive substance strontium, which was found
within ore dug from the earth at a local lead mine
in the 18th century.
