after the agony

Raasay - day 4 - Disused railway & Eyre Point

on the Burma Road path

Raasay - day 3 - Temptation Hill

work day - internet access in the shop can only be used after the Post Office closes at one - "Raasay is like Skye used to be" - a dog takes us for a walk, leading us all the way home - collapsed pines form an eerie forest - a slow connection afternoon

Raasay - day 2 - Dun Caan

from the top of Dun Caan

next door's chiming clock - autumn forest - boggy moorland track to Dun Caan - a deep, burbling voiced Grouse - tiers of water - a black bunny - gravel path descent - Holoman Island in the nick of time - Liz and her runner beans

Holoman Island, Raasay

Holomon Island

Looking down on the small tidal island from high up on Raasay. Skye looms behind.

Raasay - day 1 - Inverarish

CalMac ferry to Raasay

wake up, the weather is so bad we wonder if we'll make it to Raasay - ferry on amber alert - three cars line up - we board as the sun breaks through - 25 min walk beneath our packs to Inverarish - large, chilly house; mysterious cellar - trees, lots of trees
