Loch na Smalaig Benbecula doesn't get rave reviews in most of the guidebooks, which generally urge the visitor on to the delights of the Uists to north and south. But on a beautiful sunny day like this, the inky blue lochs and lochans have a distinct charm. The house on the left is Ardgarbh with its track forming the southern border of the loch.

Gramsdale: postbox № HS6 40 and phone One of several postboxes which seem to have a prefix misnomer - being on Benbecula, this box is actually in the HS7, not HS6, postcode district. It stands alongside a red telephone box and this may be evidence that the post office, which opened in the summer of 1935 and closed on 5 October 1974, was in the adjacent house.
