Re: Outer Hebrides

... and a couple of odd one's while the photobucket is still switched on! A Volvo at the side of the road in Benbecula! http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/a429/shaftie/075.jpg On Scalpay I came across this disused coal boat made of reinforced concrete?

After the talk I'm planning to post all my waypoints and routes. It's quite surprising just how many Scots haven'...
