Bit of history

 It was a bit dull today but Jill fancied a walk. After submitting her form for show entries, she continued on a bit further to finally visit Pinhoulland for the Neolithic site. It's only taken four years to get there.

 There is the remains of a broch near the croft.

And the area was full of heath bedstraw. Tiny, but pretty.

It wasn't difficult to spot where to go as the site is enormous. There is plenty of evidence of houses, cairns, enclosures and field boundaries. Jill is no expert so it would have been good to have some more information on the layout but the site is amazing and you can see why the site was chosen.

This is a cairn

Jill was joined by some ponies and wheatears.

Quick stop at the pier.

It was a lovely walk.

Water

 PA day yesterday, we got out for a bit and got back to working with Mark on his photography skills. We started up again with his favourite. Water shots. There hasn't been much rain but we managed to find a small waterfall with enough flow.

You do have to remember to reset settings afterwards or sheep look a little weird

We did see some mergansers

We also drove around Vidlin and Nesting checking out some suitable burns for later in the year
