Показать описание
A' Mhòine is a peninsula in the Highlands of Scotland.
The Sutherland spaceport, also known as Space Hub Sutherland or UKVL Sutherland and is planned to be the first spaceport of the United Kingdom. It would be operated by a commercial entity and would employ 40 people. The spaceport will host a launch vehicle called Orbex Prime.
The peninsula contains large areas of blanket bog covering 5,964 hectares (14,740 acres), forming part of the Flow Country. 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. Much of the peninsula is owned by Melness Estate on behalf of 59 crofters.
