durham_rambler wrangles some urgent Parish Council business, after a day in which I have accomplished nothing but shopping (online) but feel quite brain-dead as a result. So here's a handful of pictures from that long-ago holiday in the Western Isles, of what we did when we moved on from Stornoway.
We visited the Blackhouse, Arnol:
It's a traditional croft house - which I knew because I had read Peter May's The Blackhouse - in the care of Historic Scotland. Fortune has allowed them to display side by side the blackhouse, and the newer 'white house' which replaced it, and not far away a ruined blackhouse too -
( But I'll put the pictures under a cut. )
