Not all Hebridean buildings fall into disrepair. I note that Dave Fergusson's 2007 photograph includes this small building, but now, twelve years later it has a new roof and is looking well cared for.

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.

Kallin Harbour

The smaller vessels in the harbour are inshore lobster boats which use creels to trap crabs and lobsters. The larger vessels are offshore prawn boats which use trawl nets to catch the shellfish.
