The Gearrannan Black House that I stayed in for two nights during a series of norwesterly gales. NL2H2381.jpg NL2H2385.jpg The catspaws and foam streaks on the surface of the sheltered bay tell the story... gale force wind.

Photographs prompted nostalgia of a very pleasant holiday in the Stornaway area in 2008. The Black Houses were well explored and it's wonderful to see the preservation of them.
