Old Gate Post At first I thought that I had found the standing stone that's shown on the maps but it was only an old concrete gate post.

Old Moorland Bridge I had gone into the moor in search of a standing stone and, at first, thought that I had found it. However, it was only the remains of a field boundary dyke crossing a moorland burn.

No Standing Stone I had gone into the moor to look for the standing stone that's shown on the maps but I couldn't find it at all. It might have fallen or it could have become overgrown and hidden by heather.

Watermill, Glenastle, Islay There are many ruined villages and buildings on the Oa peninsula in south-west Islay. The population of this part of the island in 1830 was around 1500 - there's probably about a tenth of that number now! It is a very poignant experience to wander round this lonely, but beautiful, peninsula and think of times past and yet see the current living world all around which hasn't changed for centuries.
