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.

Red Roof Cafe | Gallery

A year and a half since Richard Dorrell's NG1848 : Challenging restoration, the building has opened for business as an art gallery and cafe.

Barn in Holmisdale

The barn has changed little since it was photographed almost two years earlier by Richard Dorrell NG1849 : Two-storey barn. The main evidence of decay is the loss of the lower part of the skew to the right side of the corrugated roof.

Hamara River

The map shows this point, just south of Fasach, as a ford. It looks like the occasional shepherd on a quad bike crosses here, though it is very rocky. It is easy to keep your boots dry at times of low rainfall!

Gate in the deer fence

A very large area of the hillside on the west side of the Hamara River south of Glendale has been planted with deciduous trees. The OS map shows parts of the hillside as woodland, but the trees are only about 2 feet tall at the moment. To keep the trees from being nibbled by deer, miles of fence has been erected. This was the only gate I found in the fence.

Allt Dearg gorge

The small burn flows through a deep and very narrow gorge just here. The burn is a tributary of the Hamara River which flows through Glen Dale.

Shielings above the gorge

The patch of green grass and scattering of stones on the moor, centrally in this picture, is certainly the ruins of a building, probably shielings. Unfortunately, the deep Allt Dearg gorge lies between the photographer and the ruins, so without a long detour, I couldn't get any closer.
