We’ve subsequently discovered that the video was filmed on Saddell beach, one of many wonderful, deserted beaches. We nearly visited Saddell Abbey, in which case we’d have tried to walk to the beech too, I assume it is accessible. Instead, we parked for five minutes waiting for the rain to stop, but it just got heavier, so we moved on.
The nice thing was, you’d never have guessed (we didn’t) it was a ‘famous’ beach. Totally uncommercialised. The only reference we found to Mccartneys was Linda’s rather cute memorial garden, in Campbeltown. Even then, it’s small and discreet, you could easily walk past without noticing it, and we had it to ourselves.
We did visit, more or less, the area where the cover picture was taken, though we didn’t know that at the time. I was planning to take a similar photo but tripped as I got out of the car, skinned my knee and tore my trousers, which kind of spoiled the moment, so no photo of that either.
