Pictures from yesterday

The pictures above show the Callanish Stones, the area around it and the road that leads north from the Stones through the village. At the end of the road lies a graveyard, containing one grave from World War I, the object of my visit. The views across the water are quite magnificent, as it was a dry, bright afternoon. The red building is a factory, which turns fish into fishoil (or used to). You can see the villages of Breasclete (nearby), Tolstachaolais (4 miles to the north) and Kirkibost on Great Bernera to the west.
