July and August have seen lovely weather and many visitors where able to find us and enjoyed being here. Many of them stayed for several days and explored the scenery. The beach attracted many of them, others went to climb Eaval and even Art on the map brought Bagh Alluin interested visitors. Apart from a couple of days of wind and rain, it has been sunny most of the time. The days are getting shorter and the summer holidays are over. The World Pipe Band Championships 2008 in Glasgow was a great event with more than 200 pipe bands from all over the world. Spectacular to visit and for next year highly recommended. A must for the Scotland-fan! On our news-page pictures of the restoration of an old Lewis clinker built boat are featured. The boat was launched beginning of August and has a mooring on the sands of Baleshare. The place where a boat departed for Clachan, North Uist. |
