The image shows a causeway curving away from us to the right that is defined by large stones on either side and carries a twin track road. A sign in the right foreground, just to the left of the road, reads "caution, otters crossing". The sky is light blue and the scene is in sunlight.

"Caution Otters Crossing." The South Ford Causeway linking South Uist to Benbecula in the Western Isles. The 800m causeway was opened in 1982, replacing an 82 span single-lane concrete bridge built in 1942. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Book Review – Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet About the Book On 9 July 1857, Angus MacPhee, a labourer from Liniclate on the island of Benbecula, murdered his father, mother and aunt. At trial in Inverness he was found to be criminally insane and confined in the Criminal Lunatic Department of Perth Prison. Some years later, Angus’s older brother Malcolm recounts the events leading up to the murders while trying to keep a grip on his own sanity.

My review of the unsettling & atmospheric Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet based on a real life triple murder in 1857 #Benbecula #truecrime #books #bookreviews #historicalfiction #booksky

Darkland Tales, an anthology series diving into compelling moments in Scottish history and branding them with new authorial twists has been an absolute blast from the very start, and its latest entry, Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet, is no different. A riveting read.

#BookAdvent #Day20 Been handselling this one like a demon today. Based on a real life triple murder case in the Hebrides in 1857 this is a spare but extremely powerful read. Perfect.

I’ve finished the book #Benbecula. Incredibly atmospheric. There was one moment when I thought the language was anachronistic but otherwise I was totally immersed in this dark tale and the world of the narrator. The #book goes back to the #library on Monday. #uist

Good evening. A beautiful, almost cloudless day in #Uist today. Stunning sunset, and, an hour later the colours in the sky are still amazing. #Benbecula #Hebrides #Scotland #Sunset

It was a wet day and I have been fascinated by the rather gothic #Benbecula based on true events on the island. Not for the faint hearted. #book #uist

“His best yet” – Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet “In the way that Burnet unsteadies the reader, it will bring to mind Margaret Atwood’s 1996 novel Alias Grace, which in its treatment of a real-life crime, and perceived / real madness, has a…

"In fictionalising a serious crime, Benbecula is more than an artistic experiment. Burnet’s refusal to editorialise, and draw moral boundaries, makes this novella deeply profound and ambitious"
