Howmore hostel

On South Uist, one of the Gatliff Trust hostels was the setting for our second night's stay on the islands. Situated close to the machair, this well-equipped hostel offers plenty of bunks for travellers and great camping ground nearby for those who prefer to stay closer to the elements.

Hebridean Dawn

I'm going to add this landscape to my prints on watercolour paper. The long dawn light in this picture, the collection of ruins and its atmosphere is quintessentially Hebridean.

A mile long ski run down from the top.

Off the community built and run ski slope on Lowther Hill, lush spring snow and a long ski run.

A happy crowd on Lowther Hill

Our home-made rope tow on Lowther Hill is well used when the weather is fair at the weekend.
