Sunset at the Braighe.

Trondheim Ski Jumps. If only we hadn’t forgotten our skis we’d have given it a go.

Snow Hotel, Kirkenes. We didn’t stay in it, but we got a look round it when we went to the ice bar.

Flying north to Kirkenes airport.

Oslo Harbour

Up on the roof of Oslo Opera House. This is Oslo’s version of An Lanntair, probably.

The view from our hotel room. Edinburgh Airport. Spitfire.

Haar at the Braighe yesterday. Clinging to the coast on the Minch side. Clisham popping its head up.

Haar in town again

Haar round the gravestones

I see Apple Maps has added 3D maps to a few more Scottish cities (or perhaps they did this ages ago & I never noticed). Nice to see the chalets where I stayed when I was a student at Stirling Uni. They were brand new when we moved in, in 1990! 36 years old now!?!

Ninja Robin

Not often you see the Cuddy Point Slipway used (other than for recreational purposes).

Stornoway Post Office moving to the MacAulay Rd Co-op. hebrides-news.com/stornoway-po...

Two buzzards at Arnish Point.

Latest display in An Lanntair by Fraser MacBeath. Nice use of lighting to recreate old Croft houses.

The short lived compost toilet near the mouth of the river Creed has been removed. All that’s left is the vent thing.

A lot of cruise ships heading to Stornoway this year…. www.stornowayportauthority.com/sectors/leis...

We walked ‘Run the Runway’ yesterday in aid of funds for MacMillan Nurses. Good turnout & the sun came out after a damp morning

Wren

Lewis Chessmen ‘Berserker’ in Museum Nan Eilean. This is 1 of the chessmen on an exchange visit whilst the usual ones are getting an overhaul. Note the wind-turbine on his shield! The Lewis Chessmen-supporting green energy since the period 790CE to 1266CE & present day.

It’s the annual Classic Rock night in An Lanntair tonight. A cross section of Stornoway’s greatest musicians playing rock tunes from the 60s to the 90s (and some I have no knowledge about from more recent years). Jason is representing the Dun Ringles tonight on lead guitar.
