Fair use rationale for Image:Hamish Brown - Travels.jpg
Image:Hamish Brown - Travels.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Ferries??
I'd check my (very battered) copy of Hamish's Mountain Walk, but the wife has just driven off with it for her lunchtime reading. But I'm pretty sure that the forms of transport used were foot, bicycle (as described) and sea kayak, not ferries. He does mention taking the ferry onto Mull before the start of the Walk, but then kayaked from Mull to the mainland near Oban (not sure if he picked up the bike from there to Loch Etive). Several stretches of bicycling to move around between mountain groups, then the kayak and bicycle again across Kyle Rhea to get onto Skye, and kayak across Kyle Akin to finish the mainland part of the walk.

He may have used ferries on the trip that involved Ireland - I got that one from the library. Aidan Karley (talk) 06:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I've just looked at the book and he did use the ferry "Columba" to return to Oban after climbing Ben More on Mull on Friday 5th April. Mick Knapton (talk) 10:51, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
