A sandy island surrounded by sand

This is the part of the extensive area of tidal sand on the east side of Baile Sear island. The sand must be firm due to the number of vehicle tyre tracks across it. Looking due east towards the profile of Eabhal.

Gordon Hatton

Vehicle graveyard Baile Sear

Vehicles are rather like dwellings on the Western Isles. When no longer wanted, they are simply left to rot out in the elements.

Old crofting settlement, Balilleray

An extensive area of old walls and ruined crofts at Balilleray on Baleshare island. The settlement was abandoned [or possible cleared] in the 19th century.

Cairn on Baleshare

The cairn stands on one of the highest points of this low lying island, and lines up nicely with the distant summit of Eabhal.

Nearing the end of the road

This is nearly the end of the tarmac on the west side of Baleshare. Beyond the cattle grid are farm buildings and two dwellings. The animal trailer on the left looks as though it has made its last journey.
