Today we headed off to a new part of the island for us. We parked at the road end of Loch Aineort on South Uist, on the northside of the Loch. Here there is a small carpark and then a wooded/moor area with a variety of short trails. There is a donations box to the upkeep of the trails - worth it. It was really sheltered and offered very 'typical' views when out in the open. The highlight turned out to be the slabs of Lewisian Gneiss that we sat buy for our lunch...Apparently the site is good for Red-throated divers, but not today.

| I'm not sure if the small walled garden is cared for, but the Comfrey was doing really well. |

| Common Carder Bees were making the most of it... |
