Hebridean Pic Spam!

[bimo]

Ladies and gentlemen, as promised I hereby present our Hebridean picture spam (which is really just a small portion of all the pictures Cavendish has taken with his shiny new camera :-)





Fly me to the isles... The "airport" on Barra





Kisimul Castle - the home of the Mc Neils of Barra






Typical traffic situation on the Hebrides


Beach at Vatersay ... one of the _small_ beaches there ;-)


"Don't pay the ferryman" ;-)


South Uist


Hebridean post office on South Uist


Tobha Mor - Thatched Cottage


Looking for a new house to renovate? Get rid of the sheep first. Derelict house on South Uist


Wild ponies




close encounter with the stoneage - Stone circle on North Uist


This is not Europe...




No, this picture has not been photoshopped, I swear ;-) Beach on Harris


Look, we've found the perfect B&B




St.Clements Church - ancient burial place of the McLeods (not kidding ;-) )


My mother in law said I'd look like a "native" ;-)


this is so (!!!) cold


Forget Stonhenge - Visit Callanish standing stones - for free ;-)


Black House museum on Lewis ...


... inhabited the way it looks today until 1961


not...


...photoshopped...


...either.


Stornoway: Almost a buzzing metropolis *g*


as you can see ;-)

Awesome. I wish I had my copy of Boswells Tour to the Hebrides with me in Bamberg so I could throw appropriate quotes at you. :) Love all the Hinkelsteine, and the Auerochs. Also the rainbow!

Heh, you've just given me an idea for an additional Christmas present for Cavendish! A couple of years ago when we traveled the Trossachs he took his Fontane everywhere that we went...

Oh, and that picture of you in that dress: Gorgeous! Have a safe journey, a great time in the US and deliver Cavendish's and my own greetings to the APs! :-)
