Griminish: postbox № HS7 43, Church Hill This postbox stands in probably what would be considered the centre of the village, by a cluster of houses which we see in the background, through the walls of a bus shelter. The box is emptied at 1:30pm on weekdays and at 9:15am on Saturdays.

Griminish did have a post office from 1 June 1938 until some time in 1979. I believe the post office was a few hundred yards to the west of here. — Griminish: postbox № HS7 43, Church Hill Credit: Chris Downer

Benbecula War Memorial A sadly high number of Great War casualties, given the size of the island. Mostly Cameron Highlanders, the various battalions of which took part in most of the major battles of the war.

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.
