	BBC News \| SCOTLAND \| Britain's 'Anthrax Island' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The island, Gruinard, just off the mainland, in Gruinard Bay, half way between Ullapool and Gairloch in the Highlands, was so contaminated that it was deemed out-of-bounds for almost 50 years.
		The final WW II report on the Gruinard Island tests suggested anthrax could be used to render cities uninhabitable "for generations".
		In 1986 an English company was paid half a million pounds to decontaminate the 520-acre island by soaking the ground in 280 tonnes of formaldehyde diluted in 2000 tonnes of seawater.
