Identity The Mystery Object Of Benbecula
WE are trying to identify a massive metal container that has been washed up on a beach in the Western Isles.
The BBC says “experts” are also investigating. But what are they experts in?
The “tank” is is 27m high and has no markings. It is thought to have fallen from a ship before being washed up on the west of Benbecula.
What is it? Your ideas please…

DO NOT POST COMMENTS. GET OUTSIDE. GET A LIFE. YOUR OPINIONS ARE TRULY UNNECESSARY AND IRRELEVANT.

I have hauled some thing like it before. It looks like a drum that is used in a factory for rolling paper or some other material.

If not a container for dangerous materials (hence no one claiming it yet) then a Chinese booster stage CZ-2E space vehicle?

I think this is probably the only receptacle capable of holding Scotland’s aspirations to self Govern themselves without the constant hand outs from England.
