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

Traditional cottage, North Uist

I note that Greg Morss referred to this as an inhabited cottage back in 2007, but now it looks distinctly uninhabited, unless the occupants enjoy fresh air through the roof.

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

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?
