Crop at Houlland An increasingly common practice is to grow a crop and then let sheep in to eat it themselves; this was cabbages (kale/keel).

House beside Loch of Cliff, north of Houlland Occupied until very recently, this house appears to be named Laggans on the maps, but I&#039;m sure it had a different name locally. The view is up Loch of Cliff, across the Ness of Queyhoose to Saxa Vord on the right, with Hermaness away on the left.

West shore of Loch of Cliff, between Houlland and Petester Looking north from Laggans, north of Houlland. Houses of Petester can just be seen perched above the bend in the loch, and Hermaness Hill is in the distance.

Peat track on Houllna Grouna This track leads from Houlland to the currently abandoned peat workings on the hill of Houllna Grouna (but known as Cliffsie locally). It is almost always wet, and even in summer often has a small stream flowing along it.
