Ruined croft house, 5-6 Hacklet (Hacleit), in 1995 Looking northeast across upper Loch Chearabhaigh (a sea loch) towards the scattered township of Kilerivagh.

According to local information from Mary Harman in 2018, the house is still there with the mid gable with chimney standing, but the roof is entirely gone. The windows are still clear, and the winnowing hole in the barn at the left hand side of the picture is still there. The telegraph pole behind the house, being redundant is no longer there.

The building probably dates from the 19th century and is Category B listed [<span class="nowrap"><a title="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB18754" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB18754">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>].

Northern end of the South Ford causeway The causeway and short bridge was officially opened in November 1982 during a howling gale. The causeway replaced an 82 span bridge which opened in 1942, but which was in a poor state of repair by the end of the 1970s.

Postbox at the junction A junction of minor roads at Haclait. Stuart Wilding's photo from 2008 shows a telephone kiosk next to the postbox, but that is no longer there - possibly blown away in a Hebridean gale?

Loch Olabhat Loch Olavat for those of us with no Gaelic. Like many lochs on Benbecula it is difficult to say where the loch ends and the surrounding bog begins, squelch! The white specks in the foreground are water lilies.
