Tiny Loch N.E. of Loch Earraid, Carloway, Isle of Lewis This part of the world has a close affinity to the water table.  Myriad lochs and lochans beyond every looming peat hag.  I often wonder about the level at which they stopped giving them names.  Loch Earraid nearby large enough to warrant titling, this one, barely four inches deep clearly not.
Just ten yards of walking this terrain and you see why I am the first geographer to visit.

Loch Fionnacleit Lovely, remote Loch Fionnacleit.  This loch and the grid square had never been visited by Geographers with a camera until now.  This hard-to-reach tranquillity in the mid north western wilderness of the Isle of Lewis.  Other than a far-running fence there was no sign of humanity anywhere.
