Stornoway - 19/05/05

A nice and sunny morning. After breakfast, I go to the library to scan in more pictures, which takes about an hour. Then I do a bit of shopping, a book by a woman who attempted to make a life on the island between 1986 and '96, but it didn't work very well. Also a little book on learning Gaelic. At lunchtime, I slowly amble off into the Castle Grounds. Soak up the sun, watch the ferry leave. Return to town via Gallows Hill. Later in the evening, Mrs B and I have an extensive chat with Flora and Mary, daughter and mother respectively from Baile Sear in North Uist. East Village implies that there is also a West Village, but that was swept into the sea. Heard that before.
