Extreme weather precautions on Benbecula This belt and braces job speaks volumes about the anticipated wind conditions on Benbecula ....and, yes, the other side is just the same. The loch is loch an Droma bho Deas.

Loch an Droma bho Deas, Benbecula The colour of the water is misleading. Unlike nearby lochs, this one has a fringe of unpleasant filamentous algae and the water itself is quite turbid. This reason for this could be the presence of a large number of geese and swans with their resultant deposits. This would be made worse by the lack of meaningful rain for about two months. A pity as it's in a lovely setting.
