Late summer on Graemsay


Space ship about to land on Sandside ;-) Beam me up Scotty!

Below, looking across Hoy Sound to Stromness from Graemsay.


A closer view of the harbour


Looking across to Hoy High, Sandside and the Orphir hills


The old croft of Quoynanapp


Another old croft above Western Horn


Across the green fields under a blue sky....


A field of sheep - Jacob and Zwartbles.....


Looking across the garden at Sandside to Stromness


Pecky hen strutting her stuff on the grass in front of Sandside


Look at that beady eye!  Definitely a hen on a mission for worms!


The weather is set to change this week but the last two weeks of glorious weather have set us up for Autumn that is for certain!

  2. That stacked stone wall is amazing. We don't see things like that over here. And what lovely, green and blue views you have there. Wonderful.

  4. I'm really enjoying your blog and your lovely pictures. I have two Eriskay ponies, who aren't Island bred, but I love pictures of all the Scottish Islands :D
