And as it is tradition (somedays when I remember) it's #Sunday, so it's #Sanday! and time for another #beach #photography after walking around the coast!

First run on Sanday up the bank to the BT tower then aiming for a run down a farm road to Stove. The track disappeared and I ended up chasing rabbits down the hill. A few thistle patches and long grass kept my pace down. Dry and cool with views out over all sides of the island.

The slightly creepy "Devil's Clawmarks" at the ruined Lady Kirk on the island of Sanday in Orkney. It would have taken a fairly large being with at least six claws to have made the marks in question: or perhaps some sort of erosion?

The Isle of #Eigg: The #communityowned island that powers itself
By Hugh Tucker
31st October 2023"Eigg is one of a collection of islands in the Scottish Inner Hebrides called the Small Isles. It lies 15 miles from the mainland and is reliant on a ferry that runs a few times a week, weather dependent, for supplies and transport. As such, waste isn't an option here and #sustainability is a necessity.
"'Sustainability has always been a part of island and crofting life here,' explained Norah Barnes, Scottish Wildlife Trust ranger on Eigg. 'You're a bit more aware of what you're using. You can't just go to a shop down the road to get something. Everything that we want, we literally have to lift off the boat.'
"Combined, the Small Isles of Eigg, #Canna, #Sanday, #Rùm and #Muck have a population of just 150-200 people. Measuring five miles by three, Eigg is the second largest in size but by far the most populous with around 110 residents, and this has helped to foster a community that has collectively been able to take charge of the future of the island.
"Launched in 2008, Eigg was the world's first community to launch an #offgrid electric system powered by #wind, #water and #solar. The three systems complement each other so that almost any #weather condition is conducive to producing electricity. To ensure supply, there are still backup generators, but the overwhelming majority comes from #renewable sources. 'How much #renewables we use varies depending on the weather, but we've done as much as 90%,' Fyffe explained.
"The benefits of the new renewable system have been numerous. Before, the island was reliant on diesel generators, which Barnes explained was a logistical headache. 'You had to get the diesel shipped over, decant it into barrels, get the barrels to your house and fill up your generator. It was a massive job. Using renewable energy has improved things a lot for people's daily lives as well as the environment.'
"It's also a step towards self-sufficiency, and, with the global energy crisis pushing prices up around the world, Fyffe described how it's helped protect the island from the increased cost of living. 'To begin with, our unit charge was higher than the mainland, but we're probably cheaper now. We put it up slightly from time to time, but we haven't done this the last couple of years as it's been so tough for everyone.'
"The island isn't resting on its laurels. Eigg is continuing to work towards becoming more sustainable. 'We're involved with another feasibility study looking at how we could become #CarbonNeutral,' Fyffe said. 'We're hoping to build a house and renovate the old doctor's surgery for rent, and we're going to trial air source heat pumps [running off the electricity grid] to see how efficient they are. Then, people can move in that direction. We'd need more supply for this, probably three big turbines, although this is early days.'"
