Barp Hacklett Cairn One cannot be absolutely sure if this is the cairn as the OS map doesn't give a detailed site, but as it is the only pile of stones on a green protuberance on an otherwise rather squelchy moor, then one would suggest that this is it.

Sandy inlet on the coast of Grimsay One of a maze of inlets and channels around Grimsay. This view is interesting as there are remains of old field walls [possibly iron age/centre picture] visible in the sand, indicating a lower sea level at some time. Cloud capped Eabhal rises in the distance.

Grimsay: the post office The island has had a post office since 2 May 1880 and its current location is in a room of the subpostmistress's house, visible here at the end of her long track driveway. The familiar oval sign stands at the end of the drive. The post office is open for business from 9am, until 12 noon on Mondays and Tuesdays and for an hour longer on Wednesdays.
