Iolaire Memorial, Stornoway HMY Iolaire, an Admiralty Yacht sank at the entrance of Stornoway harbour in the early morning, New Year’s Day, 1919. 280 Island servicemen were returning home from the Great War when the yacht struck a group of rocks a mile from safety in Stornoway Harbour and only a few yards offshore. 205 of the passengers perished of whom 181 were islanders. The sculpture is an actual-size blueprint, 189 feet from stem to stern, with a 27 foot beam. It shows the true size of the vessel and represent the number of crew and passengers on board as she sailed for Stornoway on 31 December 1918. From the site, www.visitouterhebrides.co.uk/see-and-do/iolaire-monument-p529951 The image is slightly dark to match sombre mood of the memorial and the lower pip will enlarge A large view please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, HBM and a good week!

Loch Erisort is an 8-mile-long narrow sea inlet on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast it flows into the Minch, Have a good weekend !

An image that shows the rough landscape at Duntulm in Trotternish which is the tip of the northernmost peninsula of the Isle of Skye, It looks out across The Minch to the Outer Hebrides, on a clear day of course. Fences, gates and stone walls plus a few rocks and some autumn fern. Not back to normal service for a few more days

Sunlight fighting the clouds above the Minch gives a strange and eerie afternoon light both to the sky and the land. Not that it bothers the sheep, they just keep on grazing. You may need to view large to appreciate the detail

A brief gap in the evening cloud cover allowed the sun a chance to shine across The Minch. A large view may reveal the Outer Hebrides behind the sun rays. Wish you all a good week

The Minch is a 70 mile Atlantic Ocean sea channel that separates the Outer Hebrides from the Isle of Skye and the mainland and is protected by seven lighthouses. it is criss- crossed by a number of ferries which often face weather related disruption. A small part of the islands in the far distance is illuminated by a shaft of light from the evening sun and to the far left of the image is Skye's Waternish Point, beyond which can be seen through the mist one of the Shiant Islands (as indicated by a note) Recommend a large view.

Storm crossing the Minch and heading for the Isle of Skye as a trawler heads for harbour

Loch Erisort, Isle of Lewis at the point it flows into The Minch, This eight mile long narrow sea inlet gets it's name from the Old Norse "Eiriksfjoror" = Eric's Fjord, Really appreciate a large view please.
