A holiday added onto the end of a work visit allowed us to visit Callanais Stones, Arnol Blackhouses and Gearannan Blackhouse Village. Returning on the ferry from Tarbert also gave us chance to visit the Isle of Harris Distillery - quite impressive all round trip!

I had never thought before about built-and-rebuilt this wall looks. The part with the red mortar looks Byzantine, and now I'm wondering if the conquering Ottomans found an existing Byzantine wall here and either smashed through the gate while invading or knocked a hole through the wall later to put their grand marble gate in.
