Milestone by the B888

A rather basic milestone with no discernible inscription. Looking south along the road to Eriskay.

North along the B888

The main spine road running south to north along South Uist. The B888 becomes the A865 from the junction at Daliburgh.

Rough grazing on the slopes of Carrisaval

Looking north of east across some rather uninspiring rough grassland with a sliver of water in the distance and the hills to the north east of Lochboisdale on the horizon.

Old school at Lochboisdale

This former school is now empty and boarded up. What a pity that so many lovely buildings are allowed to crumble.

Water Lilies in Loch nan Geadh

This narrow loch runs parallel to the Lochboisdale to Daliburgh road for a kilometre. It seems the less open the loch the more likely it is to be colonised by lilies.

South Uist ruin, near Lochboisdale road

A common sight in Uist, a house with no roof. The chimney breasts are still in good condition. A similar house nearby has had its roof replaced by corrugated iron, and is used as a hay store. The ridge of Beinn Mhor is in the background.
