Our oceans & coastlines are beautiful, unique and fragile. Such places are in need of considerate care & management. Kelp dredging puts delicate ecosystems at risk and further strains already struggling environments. Let your MSPs and representatives know. https://t.co/yRqKoDfIkf
My favourite: An advert for Galvanized, Corrugated-Iron farm buildings with a ringing endorsement from the Woods estate. This is the original Steading Building.

Some interesting old Raasay newspaper clippings I've collected over the years.
A Raasay gamekeeper (William MacLeod) falls to his death and disappears. His body is later located by a man who had foreseen the event in a dream.

It's Brochel! Or at least... what it might have looked like.
Brochel Castle was built in the late 15th/early 16th century, built on an incredible perch of volanic rock.
I took some creative liberties in the drawing but it's not far off how we think it might have looked

Lightly peated and balanced with rich dark fruit flavours. Honey gold in colour with hints of red wine hues.
Superb anchorage overnight at Hallaig off the east coast of Raasay on Fri night - stunning sunrise, followed by an explore ashore in the sunshine on this quieter side of the island, with its rich flora and woodland dripping with lichen and mosses.
