The Old Post Office Lochbuie

We came across this old wooden shed, which is the old Post Office at Lochbuie. It is a self serve shop with a small range of goods but surprisingly there was a freezer with venison and other meat at very low prices. There was an honesty box in which you put the money to pay for the goods you wanted. We saw this in 2013 and it may not be the same now.

Loch Uisg

Although much of the north shoreline of Loch Uisg is overhung by trees, various streams bring shingle down to form little promontories from which one can get a clear view. Looking east from this one, only a couple of small patches of pink flowers are seen, though parts of the shore are being smothered by invasive Rhododendron ponticum. At the west end, efforts seem to be being made to kill this off, but this will be in vain unless the neighbours cooperate and clear theirs too.
