The Lewis Trilogy

My apologies for not been around and for not replying to emails.  Once again I seem to have technical issues with the computer.  Today I seem to be able to log in but for the past few days it has been an impossibility.  Anyway long may this last...

Today I thought I would take you on a tour.  No, not a magical mystery tour, a tour of the places mentioned in the Peter May books.  There is a trilogy of books written by Peter May set on the Isle of Lewis the Outer Hebrides which form part of the archipelago of the Hebrides, separated from the Scottish Mainland and from the Inner Hebrides by the waters of the Minch.  'Don your hats and I will show you around the North, the top end of the Island around the township of Ness.

I won't tell the stories but just outline the places mentioned.

For those that have not read any of the Peter May books I can sincerely recommend them.  I must admit they do add another dimension to the magic of this beautiful and tranquil Island, or is it?

I do hope you enjoyed this little tour, the photos were taken about 8 o'clock in the evening with not a soul in sight and everything closed with the exception of Cross Inn.  There is a barn at the back which is a bar with food available and is quite popular with the locals and tourists alike.

See you soon.
