A week
of fair weather saw me, with a group of friends, exploring Mingulay
and Berneray as part of the Scottish Island Studies programme. This
gave us an excellent opportunity to visit the remote island of Berneray,
whose great cliffs are the last landfall before Canada. The cottage
on the right is the first ruin that greets you as you walk from
the jetty up towards the lighthouse. It looks quite promising from
without, perhaps even a bothy! but no, as you can see below left,
it is only a shell. |

The
pump on the right took water from a roadside well near the jetty up
to the lighthouse, which we'll see in a minute. Obviously now it is rusted and past recovery but it makes an interesting diversion on the walk to the light. Let's now head for the lighthouse |
