"The Island Of Barra"
Left: Ben Heaval rises like a vulcano dominating the centre of the island. It is a brisk scramble to the summit but well worth it, with magnificent views in all directions. Just beow the summit is a large statue of Mary & Child
Right: Your editor at the summit and a crystal clear day and a very memorable experience. The photo was taken on my camera, by a Canadian.
Above Left: Shows a very sparse population on the south side of the island but on such a day it must be a delight to
live there. Wild Lilies abound on the island.
Above Left: Ben Heaval from the north west corner of Castlebay. Sit and ponder a while
Above Right: Kishimul Castle out in the bay with the Island of Vatarsay and South Uist as a backdrop.
Above Right: MacBraynes’ ferry ‘Iona’ with ten minutes to departure for Lochboidale on South Uist.
