Crulivig: postbox № HS2 91

This postbox stands on the opposite side of the road to NB1733 : Crulivig: the telephone box. It is emptied each morning except Sunday at a quarter to nine.

Boggy and rocky

Often in this type of country, getting up onto a bit of high ground reveals a lochan or just a little pool to add a bit of interest. Not here. The high ground is on the lower slopes of Beinn Sgarastaigh, but with a summit height of 98 m, and difficult navigation through peat hags, no one is likely to get excited about it.

Possible fallen standing stone, Circebost, Great Bernera/BeÃ rnaraigh

This stone lies approximately 80m ESE of NB1734 : Calanais/Callanish XV, Circebost, Great Bernera/Beàrnaraigh. The croft owner, who is the grandson of Norman MacDonald who originally brought Callanish XV to archaeologists' attention, believes it to be fallen standing stone.

Looking down at Circebost

Circebost or Kirkibost is a tiny settlement on Great Bernera. This island is now connected to Lewis by a short pre-stressed concrete bridge. In 1953 when it was built it was and remains the first bridge of such material in Europe. The settlemenr is also important as it is the first planned crofting township in the Outer Hebrides, though I think town is a lofty description for such a small group of houses.
