  1. Hype for the Future 73D: L’Anse aux Meadows

  2. @neald what surprises me is not that the fire happened which I suppose is not entirely impossible, but that there seem to be no diesel backup generators for an airport of that size.
    I can tell you that our wee airport on the #isleofbarra  is not only older than Heathrow, but is protected by diesel generator back-up.

    And we only have to deal with a couple of flights a day !

    But of course, our airport was not privatised. It is run by the Scottish government.

  3. Castlebay, the village capital of the wonderful island of Barra in the Western Isles: complete with castle and bay. The story of Castlebay is deeply entwined with the stories of Clan MacNeil and of Kisimul Castle. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bar

  4. Coastal scenery at Eoligarry, at the northern end of the island of Barra in the Western Isles. Catch it in the right light and this is a magical place, with the blue of the sky meeting the darker blues and lighter turquoise of the sea. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bar

  7. It is not often we get days like this on #IsleofBarra. The #snow has stayed and got deeper. Looks like there is plenty in the sky too and some wonderful clouds! Unfortunately I have on online meeting this morning but will definitely be getting out there this afternoon.

  8. A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

    We travel by road round Barra to Traigh Mhor, at the start of the island's northern peninsula. This is home to one of the world's most spectacular and most beautiful airports: and the only beach airport anywhere to be used for scheduled airline services, which began on 7 August 1936.

  9. A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

    We travel by boat to the Isle of Barra, the jewel that is almost at the foot of the Western Isles archipelago. Most visitors to Barra will find themselves in the village of Castlebay sooner rather than later and that is where we land. The village wraps around Castle Bay with its island castle.
