“Your beauty
shines with age
like a boat in the bay
fishing in the blaze
of a last sunset.”

“This wood burns a dark
Incense. Pale moss drips
In elbow-scarves, beards
From the archaic
Bones of the great trees.”
Sylvia Plath (1959)

A view across Loch Euphort on the enchanting island of North Uist in the Western Isles. North Uist measures some 18 miles from east to west by 12 miles from north to south, and has a remarkably complex topography. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

A view across Loch Euphort on North Uist in the Western Isles. The image shows the view on a sunny day, with a sculpture of what looks like a branch of a tree on a rock in the foreground. There is a stony area around the sculpture with a path leading to it. In the background is the loch, complete with islets. In the distance a rocky hill rises from the far shore.

Castlebay, the village capital of the wonderful island of Barra in the Western Isles: complete with castle and bay. The story of Castlebay is deeply entwined with the stories of Clan MacNeil and of Kisimul Castle. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Barra #WesternIsles
Castlebay. The image shows a view down a single track road making its way downhill through rough grassland to a scattered village of mainly light harled houses and cottages and a blue bay. Standing on an islet in the right centre of the frame is a grey stone castle. On the far side of the bay is a rocky shoreline and there is more land in the distance rising to a ridge. The sky is blue.
