Ruined stone building on heathery hillside
A shieling in the western isles.
Folk lived in these in the hills for thousands of years up till about 300 or so years ago. They're everywhere here, I think they're really quite magical

The statue of Our Lady of the Isles. The image shows the tall and narrow white statue from the rear in the left foreground. Beyond it a grassy slope descends to a low-lying landscape with lots of lochs and the sea in the background. The scene is in sunshine.

Lochboisdale or Loch Baghasdail on South Uist in the Western Isles. The image shows lobster pots and fishing gear in the foreground with a harbour beyond. Beyond that are mainly white-painted cottages and houses in the centre and right of the frame. Two small boats are moored or pulled up at the quay. The sky is blue.
The fascinating harbour and ferry port of Lochboisdale or Loch Baghasdail on South Uist in the Western Isles. It developed in the herring boom in the latter half of the 1800s and gained a steamer pier in 1880. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The remains of a crannog or dun (defensive settlement) on the west bank of Loch a’ Mhuilin on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Pottery found on the site suggest that the crannog and causeway may have originated during the Neolithic. 📸 My own. #Archaeology #SouthUist

Flora MacDonald's birthplace and monument. The image shows an enclosure made of large stones in the foreground enclosing a circular cairn with a plaque on it. There’s a gate in the bottom right of the frame with a welcome sign on it. The landscape in the background is very flat. The sky is blue.
