End of the road It was nice to get onto solid ground again after squelching through the fields behind the cottages after coming off Beinn Hynish.  The cottage shown is typical of Tiree, being a Tigh Geal style cottage where the original thatched roof has been replaced felted roof.

Drainage Ditch Many of the roads have drainage ditches both sides, and looking at the amount of water on the fields they are needed.  Walking the fields here can be awkward because of ditches with barbed wire fences both sides.
