Old harbour, Grimsay A crofthouse sitting on a reclaimed piece of land at Baymore (Bagh mor) which was the main harbour on the island before the Kallin (Ceallan) development. The harbour is littered with lots of old creels and other flotsam and there are many old stone piers.

The summit region of Grimsay Grimsay is a low island between North Uist and Benbecula. It is difficult to be certain of its highest point, but this eminence, 25m or so above Mean Sea Level, is a good contender.

Sandy inlet on the coast of Grimsay One of a maze of inlets and channels around Grimsay. This view is interesting as there are remains of old field walls [possibly iron age/centre picture] visible in the sand, indicating a lower sea level at some time. Cloud capped Eabhal rises in the distance.

Grimsay: the post office The island has had a post office since 2 May 1880 and its current location is in a room of the subpostmistress's house, visible here at the end of her long track driveway. The familiar oval sign stands at the end of the drive. The post office is open for business from 9am, until 12 noon on Mondays and Tuesdays and for an hour longer on Wednesdays.
