308 years ago today. Ormacleit Castle on South Uist, occupied for just seven years after taking seven to build. It is said to have burned down on the day of the Battle of Sheriffmuir, 13 November 1715, at which its laird was killed. More pics and info: https://t.co/CDe4jPIPJ0

This is Our Lady of the Isles in South Uist, one of the few parts of the country to stay majority Catholic after the Reformation almost 500 years ago.
