Barra: Kisimul Castle by Kasia-D
Continuing my series World from Above with a view of the medieval Kisimul Castle which lies on a rock in Castlebay on the Outer Hebridean island of Barra. Historic Scotland site Taken just before landing at the island’s beach airport. At the start of my 2007 tour of the Outer Hebrides, we left cloudy Glasgow to fly to sunny Barra on the only scheduled flight in the world to land on a beach with the timetable dictated by the tides! I can highly recommend this amazing trip in a Twin Otter prop plane seating just 15 passengers, and the first officer doubling up as steward! “If it had been clear leaving Glasgow, we would have taken the scenic route a wee bit lower over the Sound of Mull…,” apologised the pilot. He made up for it by doing a circle of Barra before landing. Please enlarge to appreciate the light, etc. better.

Light on the Past by Kasia-D
Captured freehand in the Blackhouse Museum at Arnol, Isle of Lewis. Smoke from the peat fire in the centre of the main room is caught in the light from the only window. Historic Scotland site The museum is well worth a visit to get insights of what life was like in this typical old stone house. The so-called blackhouses did not have a chimney but the peat smoke rose up through the thatched roof. This had the added advantage of keeping the roof from rotting or rain from coming through. This is my homage to the generations of islanders who lived in these houses. Addtional information from Ranald: “The tar from the peat smoke made everything inside black, hence the name. The beasts were often kept at one end of the house, where the floor sloped down. The heat rising off them kept the smoke away. A very clever system.” Nikon D1X, Nikon 18-70 F3.5-4.5G. F3/8, 1/10s, 24mm, ISO 125. / Location: Arnol, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UK. / I’ve got this framed in large-format in my hallway. Topped 500 Views on 30th October 2009. 540 a week later:-) Featured in / Featured Features / Contrasting Perceptions / Nikon DSLR Users Group / Scotlands History / Rural Around the Globe / Highlands and Islands Photographers Lovers of the Isles may like my calendar Outer Hebridean Coastlines

Island Castle by Rob Outram
What a difficult day for photographs. Blue sky, haze in the air and I’m beside one of Scotland’s most iconic castles!. Oh well, this is the best I could do straight into the sun. I also wanted to capture the reflection of the tree on the island in the water, which is why I used this particular angle. Canon 450D 3 exposures for HDR processing 47 16 30 N 5 30 39 W

The Mountain of Solace Waiting. by Kenart
Cullins, Skye, Hebrides, Scotland. / / A ride through a old battlefield and foolish romantic history. / To see when no one else is around. To see is what happens. Understanding comes quickly when surrounded completely with the song. Remember me. The words and music are pathetic echoes that resonate from hillsides and bounce out from cliffs, deepening the tone and crying alone. Character paths differ to the same useless scenic destination. Clouds made in work form gentle gestalt’s from memory and experience. Ships with sails of grand insignificance capturing only now a second thought and not a vital and precious first consideration. This is the obvious difference between alone and lonely as written poorly in a child’s examination essay. Slips of rain washed granite and tannin cataract floods. Shelters for small mammals, sod sodden sad and shivering. Moss grown micro worlds with sudden climatic changes and the same gestalt cloud systems of their own. Electric green winter passions covering a cathedral nave of the dead white bone from a foolish sheep starved on a secret water ledge. The witch familiar carrion bird caws from under its hood of grey. In the mood of the day it hops and blank eye skull pecks from bone to green white bone. The high strings of water orchestrate the hillsides in wide dun damnedest storms. Each burn to its own falls away vastly. Blossoming and speaking white with tea brown from what can be seen and felt. No wonder the warrior poets hated. They said remember me and only the coward carrion buzzard did. Feeding young with the strings of clan bright songs. Let Autumn find her own safety through haunted stump bog. With mists that whisper of spectral trespass. A hag of dark sodden peat and tufted flags rotted from forgotten battles. Stones that state a death unequivocally. Here fought and died. Here was ended in bright lies. Here Cumberland in his foul stenched vastness slaughtered the youth of an old way with no thought for their future dreams. Here the rich swallowed the old and moved them across the sea. Here the victors wrote the history and the pampered pretender ran away to obscurity with the delusions of dreams. His sword bright with youth and lost lace lies. This is real beauty. This is the glen of easy to forget. This is a green place of crag and bitter rock that suffers no fool kindly or otherwise bent to oblivion upon its shattered summits. © 2009 Ken Simm.
