Our destination was two-fold: first the Doune Braes Hotel, a watering-hole cum restaurant and hotel a few miles outside Carloway, where we had lunch. The hotel cat, Tinkerbell, fussed around us, meowing everytime someone spoke to her. As we drove north, a line of rain moved in off the Atlantic. Our second destination was the tiny hamlet of Dalmore, more specifically the cemetery there. It is located directly above the beach, and as I was looking for wargraves, the rain started. Strangely enough the cold relented when it got wet. After a brief visit to local beauty spot Dalbeg, we returned to Stornoway about an hour before darkness fell.

I know others would say there are more beautiful places on earth, but I think where you are is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cold here with just a fine snow now and then today. It seems our weather is not so different. No hills in our part of Ohio though. It would be a cold day to be searching a cemtary, but I suppose if you dress warmly it would be ok. 'On Ya'-ma
