Recently resurfaced road The condition of nearly all of the roads in Glendale had become very poor in the last year or so. The council have recently resurfaced some of the roads, and topped them with a generous coating of small stone chippings.

Glendale Water Mill This old feature situated where the Hamara River enters Loch Pooltiel is being maintained by the Glendale Estate and is worth a visit. It is an attractive spot lying in an attractive corner of Skye called Duirinish.

Barn in Holmisdale The barn has changed little since it was photographed almost two years earlier by Richard Dorrell <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1571212">NG1849 : Two-storey barn</a>. The main evidence of decay is the loss of the lower part of the skew to the right side of the corrugated roof.

Summit plateau of Beinn nan Corrafidheag Being clad in a thick layer of peat, and exposed to the blasts of wind and rain from the south west, the flattish tops of most of the hills here are usually soggy and riven with often impassible bogs between the peat hags. Just now, all is dry, as there has been no worthwhile rain on Skye for a couple of months. This view is north, with Biod an Athair being the high point in the distance, and the Outer Hebridean Isle of Harris on the horizon.
