A' Mhòine


A' Mhòine is a peninsula in the Highlands, Scotland. The peninsula is bounded to the west by Loch Eriboll, and to the east by the Kyle of Tongue. The A838 road crosses the peninsula on an east-west axis.
The peninsula contains large areas of blanket bog covering. Eriboll East and Whiten Head, at the western and northern sides of the peninsula, are designated as part of a special landscape area, and the bog a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
In 2018, the peninsula was selected as the site for the United Kingdom's first spaceport. Launches could first take place by 2022.
Permission to build the spaceport has been opposed by a holding objection from the Wildland company of billionaire Danish couple Anne and Anders Povlson.
