Stein!

Stein is a crofting township, situated on the north eastern shore of Loch Bay, in the west of the Waternish peninsula, planned as a fishing village by the British Fisheries Society, Stein was designed by Thomas Telford in 1790. however for various reasons it was never completed, The folk singer Donovan had a house in Stein during the 1970s, www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMknrmuDD0o Two Notes both self explanatory, I really do recommend a large view, HBM and a good week

Hooded Crow! (Corvus cornix)

Caught in a sliver of sunlight and sitting on a gate overlooking Loch Dunvegan, Isle of Skye! Scotland is apparently the only part of the UK mainland where these birds breed. HFF and a large view recommended!

Unsavoury History

A moss covered bench on the seaward side of Tumpan Church, Trumpan Church, Isle of Skye, which is probably from 1330s and it lasted until 1578 when the doors were barred and the thatched roof set on fire with a congregation of MacLeods at worship inside, this atrocity by the Macdonald clan was retribution for an attack on clan members on the isle of Eigg The history and reason for this and the associated clans in these bloody massacres can be read here sobt.co.uk/trumpan-church Better large in my opinion. ,,,,,, HBM and a nice week!

The remains.

A section of Dunstaffnage Castle ruins, The castle is built on an outcrop rock using what appears to be an odd mix of stone, (Large View) I think the colours of the stone in the wall to left are beautiful!. The castle which was built before 1240 has a very defensive position having water on three sides, it covers from Firth of Lorn to the Pass of Brander also Ardmucknish Bay and the entrance to Loch Etive. HWW to all!
