Gate above Loch nan Caor, Isle of Lewis

I'm guessing that this somewhat decorative field gate has previously been in a more domestic location! According to the OS Name Book of 1848-1852, Loch nan Caor means Rowan Trees Loch.

Platform in Loch Cheois

This small concrete platform is at the southern end of Loch Cheois. There is nothing to indicate its function. (There is a slight possibility that it is associated with the WWII "chariot" training facility at Tavay.)

South-western corner of Eilean Chaluim Chille

The extreme north-eastern tip of the grid square is occupied by this corner of Eilean Chaluim Chille, a small island in Loch Èireasort. This view looks across the loch to the mainland of Lewis near Cabharstadh. The photo was taken despite the strenuous efforts of a couple of great black-backed gulls to deter the photographer from encroaching on their territory!
