Continuing yesterday’s blog, Skara Brae had a reconstruction of one of the habitats, it gave a very good impression of how one would look with a roof.

A Neolithic double bed….

Here is a reconstructed dwelling with roof, still a squeezy entrance ! 

We then went on to Lewis overnight. A cold wet start to the day did not help when the Captain found his berth occupied. We started tendering but were able to dock prior to our tour of a black house village and Carloway Broch.

A black house, quite an improvement on Skara Brae, but still very smokey and damp inside.

The weather cleared to give us some wonderful views, and we managed to get Hazels iPad unlocked ! Unfortunately she has lost all the pics from the first part of the holiday but will be able to take more now ! Cheers M & H
