Lewisian Gneiss

This is classic Lewisian Gneiss, in irregular outcrops smoothed by the glaciers of the last (and no doubt previous) Ice Ages.

Drinisiadar, Harris

A lovely quiet corner of Harris, the white house in the centre, is a bunkhouse/hostel. Get there before the prom gets built along the seafront and the picnic chairs get cemented in. Picture taken from the Uig ferry.

I'm getting a signal on my mobile!

This may look like a picture of a lochan, but more important - middle centre is the radio mast that means I can phone home. This type of small lochan is a frequent feature in these parts, the mobile signal isn't.

Llama Farm - yeah right!

As you come down the hill into Drinisiader there's a sign saying "Llama Farm" as I pondered "did I read that right?" these were the first chaps I could ask.

Washing at Scadabhagh

Taking advantage of a good drying day.

Old building at Scadabhagh

A drystone construction of partly dressed gneiss using a small cliff for support. I would think agricultural rather than residential, and probably relatively recent.
