As you may be aware, I have a webcam installed here in Stornoway, and it seems to be very popular. It started running on December 14th; since January 16th, I have been keeping a tab on visitors.

People reach this site mainly through my Island Blog on the BBC (Arnish Lighthouse).
They reach the Camstreams site by general search terms for stornoway, webcam, hebrides &c. Others are attracted to Newton Cam because the description includes a reference to red lights. A buoy in the channel leading out of Stornoway harbour blinks continually with a red light at night. You'll be aware what people are looking for when they enter 'red light' in Google.
That was very interesting. I was curious about the stats. You couldnt have made it clearer for me. Thanks. Rhonda
