Unnamed loch on Benbecula

The Co-operative store, Creagorry (Benbecula)

A good sized shop. Just don't ask when the newspapers come in; it's usually mid-afternoon!

Garage by the A865

Filling station and workshops by the A865 on Benbecula. Fuel might be expensive on the Outer Hebrides, but it's still cheaper than motorway prices.

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 [Link

]. It also appears on the Buildings at Risk Register [Link

Richard Sutcliffe

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?

Croft beyond the loch

Looking across Loch na Craoibhe Bige [which might mean 'loch of the small tree'] towards some grassland on a Benbecula croft.

Loch Dubh Mor

5.43am, on an early morning walk on Benbecula. The road crossed this little loch. The distant mountains are on South Uist, the next island to the south.
