A great perspective Roger............and a super shot. I just love the shapes and textures in the stones and the very clever way they've all been fitted together. They ain't going anywhere!

It looks much bigger and newer, than this one: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/31127249

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you, Keith, newer but only because it is a rebuild of an existing croft,
We stayed in a modernized croft which nice but rather compact, an experience for sure!

Thank you Rosa, The wire mesh is needed as protection from the harsh winter gales and I assume that apart from hanging stones they had no other way to hold the wire in place!

I've never seen such a thing as the hanging stones. Very cool - the whole thing. And indeed, rock walls are so amazingly wonderful and lasting. Ah to be on the Isle of Skye.

7 months ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to raingirl ^club

Thank you, Laura, there are no means of attaching the netting otherwise, because many of the islands are treeless for the roofs they relied on driftwood which was often available from shipwrecks that had floundered on this dangerous coastline.

7 months ago.

raingirl ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

So what you are saying is they made lemonade out of lemons (shipwrecks) - haha!

7 months ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to raingirl ^club

Spot on Laura, Shipwrecks were sometimes induced by showing false lights and drawing ships onto the rocks!
