A cold and frosty morning which is unusual for us. It has created some beautiful temporary works of art. Lovely day but be careful of slippy surfaces either driving or walking. #isleofbarra

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 with lights going up all around. These ones are always spectacular and are raising money for Borve Cemetery #isleofbarra #christmastime

Despite the day, the sea is crystal clear and an amazing blue colour. Freezing cold but great views. #isleofbarra #winterday #seascape

Up at the airport today. Flight from Glasgow was early due to a strong tail wind. Barra’s airport is really special- worlds only beach runway with daily scheduled flights. Daily flights to and from Glasgow with Loganair. #isleofbarra #twinotter #beachlanding

The street in #Castlebay. PO, Cafe Kisimul, old post office, RBS, grocers & fuel, empty shop. Just out of the pic (top of the street) is the doctors surgery.
The Street was made famous in the 1949 Ealing comedy Whisky Galore 🥃 about the sinking of the SS Politician written by Compton MacKenzie.
