  1. Alasdair Maclean’s NIGHT FALLS ON ARDNAMURCHAN (1984) was his only full-length prose work. Hilary Mantel called it

    “a book like an animated shipping forecast… You hear the ocean and the voice of a salt-laden gale in this sharp, thoughtful, eloquent memoir”

  2. Meet Einriði the Robin, who visits us daily on the Croft.

    In Norse mythology, the Robin was associated with the god Thor and Einriði is another name for Thor in one of the Sagas, composed around the 10th Century.
    It means “The one who rides alone”

  10. CW: Sick animal

    Not great. Had to help a neighbour carry a sick old ewe down to their barn, through the rain and mud (slick as ice). Poor thing has withered desperately thin and barely has the strength to walk. Put in a barn to dry, with water and a selection of food, but seems the back teeth have worn away, so she seems to struggle to eat. Still, she had the fight to walk a bit of the way, which is good.

    Hopefully it's a peaceful exit, all given.

  11. South Uist, 2021.

    It isn't unusual for people (and especially photographers) to get all dreamy about abandoned croft houses such as these when often the reality is much more prosaic. This family croft house simply wasn't up to modern standards, the new family house is the other side of the ridge. There is no real need to demolish this house, so it doesn't get demolished.
