Barra: A little series of images # 1|

It was pitch black once I'd left the lights of the slipway from the ferry terminal at Castlebay. I had some easy to follow instructions to get us to the holiday cottage that promised to be our great getaway for the Autumn Half-term holiday...

Of course the Islanders know every twist and turn of those narrow, single track roads, day or night but for a first timer, I felt like I was driving with a blindfold on and those Atlantic breakers I could hear to the left of me, above the rain pattering on the car roof were sobering. 

I realised in daylight, I couldn't really have got it wrong. There aren't so many roads on Barra and there's no such thing as traffic. And we weren't disappointed! Location, location, location. It was everything we wanted it to be and more; next to the sea and away from it all. Our first mission was to walk around our bay, Traigh Mhor. This is looking across the Traigh Mhor, Barra's Airfield when the tide is out, to Orasaigh.
