... except the Kyles and Western Isles: November 2013
http://exceptthekylesandwesternisles.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Monday, November 18, 2013. The "Lord of the Isles" en route between Oban and Colonsay - picture credit Neil Roger. Caledonian MacBrayne is the name in big letters along the side of the ship but the small print on the back of your ticket says you're travelling with a company called Calmac Ferries Ltd (CFL). Reveals that DML was incorporated in 1928 and CMAL as far back as 1889? Meanwhile, down on the Firth of Clyde...

Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Monday, September 17, 2012. A few years ago, I wrote a series of articles about Peter's Port. The pier built in 1896 to serve the island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides. OS Quarter Inch Map, 1922. And the reason for harking back to Peter's Port is that I've found another example of this apparently most bizarre of all creatures - a pier with no road to it. By coincidence, it's at Lochboisdale:-. The old pier is ...

Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Remaining with the theme of recording the past but moving on from aquatint to photography, George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) was a commercial photographer from Aberdeen responsible for tens of thousands of photographs taken worldwide including a substantial proportion in Scotland. Another contender for the most famous GWW must be "the St Kilda Parliament":-. The GWW archive has been...
... except the Kyles and Western Isles: October 2012
http://exceptthekylesandwesternisles.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Since 1964, the principal crossing to the island of Mull has been the Calmac car ferry from Oban to the pier specifically built for the purpose at Craignure. Craignure Pier by Alan Wright. Before 1964, Mull's principal connection with the mainland was MacBrayne's mail steamer which sailed from Oban once a day to Tobermory with intermediate calls at Craignure (a ferry call. The 1832 map ab...
... except the Kyles and Western Isles: Dundonnell House
http://exceptthekylesandwesternisles.blogspot.com/2015/08/dundonnell-house.html
Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Saturday, August 1, 2015. While searching the web for something completely different, I came across the picture below of Dundonnell House at the head of Little Loch Broom in Wester Ross:-. The picture is from Thomas Pennant's "A Tour in Scotland and Voyage to the Hebrides, 1772". Picture credit Sylvia Duckworth. In layman's language, the boat was being blown up the loch and, if the anchor hadn't taken hold, it ris...

Life at the end of the road. August 31, 2015. Everyone should have one :-). 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 10:32 pm. One was needing help with an inverter and one was after bread. After depositing son and beetle man on ferry it was back up the road to feed the pigs,. Put another coat of paint on the rear cross member. When Lachie arrived with a pallet of Spanish slates for the ‘Bunker’ I pressed him into rescuing the Quadzilla. I really must get one of these, every croft should have one. August 30, 2015.
Port Na Cailliche: Moving home
http://portnacailliche.blogspot.com/2010/09/moving-home.html
Tuesday, 21 September 2010. Not me, the blog. As mentioned before, I'm moving the blog to a new site. I'm going to use Wordpress from now on as it enables me to have a more traditional type site with pages in a style i prefer to blogger. I won't be transferring over the information from this blog as I'd like to make a clean break from the remnants of Port na Cailliche, fun though it was. The new site will focus on Isle Ornsay and it's development. Http:/ hlrco.wordpress.com/. Yet more Scottish postcards!

Life at the end of the road. August 9, 2015. I can see :-). Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Airtightness testing Skye. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 10:45 pm. I was extremely confident that Archie Macdonald’s design and Lachie Gillies’ building would have delivered the air tight dwelling we required but as with most things these days you need a certificate to prove it. This will be a very expensive one that goes along with the plumbing, electrical, EPC, water, scaffolding and blah, blah, blah ...

Life at the end of the road. April 29, 2015. The 12kW ‘tumble drier’. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: SMA SI6.0H. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 5:08 am. Well it’s 5:40am, the hens are done and I’ve just ‘flashed up’ our new ‘drier’,. It’s pishing with rain, which makes a change from snow,. But it’s presenting a challenge in the washing/drying department. The view from our bedroom window. Moving oil to the Schoolhouse the easy way. A blocked jet on the ‘Stream Engine’ hydro turbine, sorted in a few...

Life at the end of the road. August 23, 2016. It’s all over now :-). 8212; Tags: MV Hallaig. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:15 pm. Well that’s the fastest shift ever, ‘But it’s all over now’. Dunno where it went, but that’s it and a right mixed bag it’s been. Great weather, pish weather and just about everything in between. The ‘mixed bag’ ensuring a multitude of rainbows to keep the tourists cameras clicking. Not to mention the abundance of porpoises accompanying the ferry today. It’s been a while.

I ‘clocked off’ at 21:00 again tonight, just as the sun started disappearing behind the Storr. It’s late enough, I’d been at it since 7:00 and at last feel like I’m getting somewhere. This concrete polishing is turning into a bit of an epic, the discs are 120 each and I’m on my 5th! The only way to see Raasay. Here’s Scalpay, where I lived for f...

Life at the end of the road. July 31, 2015. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Calor gas tanker. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 6:24 am. Sorry to have been a little lax on the posting front recently but I kinda got distracted. There were the usual late nights tinkering about in the house after a ‘hard day at the office’ but the truth is I’ve been ‘on the ran dan’. It is after all ‘Glesgie Fair’ https:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow Fair. Http:/ www.blantyre.biz/The-Glesca-Fair.html. Now if we were goo...

June | 2015 | Life at the end of the road
https://lifeattheendoftheroad.wordpress.com/2015/06
Life at the end of the road. June 30, 2015. Flaming June, “aye right”. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:46 pm. Of course that’s not the whole of it, the ‘black dog of depression’ has been looming over more people than just the residents of South Arnish. The traditional driest and sunniest months of the year here on the West Coast have been ‘pure pish’, everything is a month behind and I can count the days on my fingers that it’s not rained in two months. So much for ‘Flaming June’. The next stage of the t...

A bit wonky :-( | Life at the end of the road
https://lifeattheendoftheroad.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/a-bit-wonky
Life at the end of the road. August 7, 2015. A bit wonky :-(. Filed under: daily doings. 8212; Tags: Cornet crafts. 8212; lifeattheendoftheroad @ 9:00 pm. Had I been writing this then the chances are it’d be a bit wonky with atrocious spelling, as it is, on a key board with ‘spell check’ and with a panty liner wedged inside my glasses it may ‘pass muster’. However, ‘your truly’ returned from Lewis with some kind of eye problem and is now not really fit for anything, though it’s not for want of trying.

With the Exception of Taco Tuesdays
With the Exception of Taco Tuesdays. Maybe you're not like me and the aforementioned as well as the unmentioned (infertility) is worse than being fat…this may not be the blog for you. I plan on irreverently, humorously and sarcastically sharing my weight loss journey as I run full speed (hopefully reaching my target heart rate) at the wall that is PCOS…But, before you go, take note: I did use the words "sharing" and "journey"…I can't be that bad.

Be careful what you wish for. September 4, 2013 1 Comment. If I could go back to my newly stepmommed self (step-girlfriend really, if you’re keeping score), I would tell myself to be careful what I wish for. If I could say one thing to every stepmom who thinks that her stepkids’ mom is the worst, most alienating piece of shit for sending the crappy, too small clothes or being a control freak about phone calls, I would say be careful what you wish for. Did I not realize what that meant? I don’t mean...

... except the Kyles and Western Isles
Except the Kyles and Western Isles. Things I'm interested in on the west coast of Scotland. Monday, December 4, 2017. In quick succession from the last ones. Another couple of stunning pictures of Mallaig I chanced across. This time, they're of Mallaig before Mallaig was built:-. These photos are both by James Valentine from the National Galleries of Scotland's website. The links to these two actual pictures are here. And the rest of Valentine's photos are worth a browse here. Note that the settlement la...
