Rocky knoll at 72m spot height south of Pentland Rd, Carloway, Lewis Tramp out across the bog to the tiny hump that is this 72 metre spot height amidst the wilderness of Lewis. Then drop down the S.E. side and this is what you'll see. Can't guarantee my wife's legs will be there when you go to check.

Roadside memorial to Murdo Macleod On the lonely bog-traversing Pentland Road twixt Carloway and Stornoway lies this memorial to a man who dropped dead at this spot on 1st June 1902 aged just 40. If anyone ever contacts me to tell me the cause, I will be delighted to update this page. Murdo was clearly loved by his descendants.

View from the knoll at 72m spot height My previous image from this spot shows what's underfoot, this one shows the view roughly south. Bog, some bog, then a boggy patch. Two lochans which I think are called Loch Mòr and Loch Gheòidh can be seen mid distant. Off Pentland Rd, Carloway, Isle of Lewis.
