Wonderfully remote and super scenic. Westray, Orkney, Scotland. For some epic white sand action and solo serenity, look no further. Although relatively short, this coastal walk is a winner in terms of aesthetics, a bit of sand in your toes and fresh Walks Orkney air caressing your hair. Going in a circle, begin at the Bay of Tuquoy and head for the old holy ruins of Cross Kirk before reaching the swathes of pristine white sand and indigo waters that make up Mae Sands beach.

  • Evanton Wartime Remains: Sites and Features
    Evanton Wartime Remains: sites and features During the first half of 2013 a group gathered at the Cornerstone Cafe on Wednesday evenings to remember and research the wartime remains in Evanton – buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. Using old maps, photographs (some over 90 years old), aerial photographs from the wartime and later, military archives and plans, memories spanning over 70 years and details gleaned by walking over the area, information about over 160 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the Kiltearn Primary school, Inverness Young Archaeologists Club and Dingwall Academy joined us as well, recording remains and learning about the wartime and later activities in Evanton. This report summarises the results of this research. Most of the recorded sites relate to wartime remains, but a few other unrecorded sites were also noted. The details and more photos will also be forwarded to the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (http://her.highland.gov.uk), the RCAHMS Canmore database (http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/canmore.html), and the SCAPE/SCH@RP coastal sites at risk database (http://scharp.co.uk/) where they will provide valuable new information about Evanton’s past. It is clear that this is not the last word, and we hope this report will encourage others to share any other memories and photographs they might have. The sessions were organised by ARCH which provides opportunities for people interested in learning about and helping to preserve their heritage. Evanton Wartime Remains was funded by the European Community Highland LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, Kiltearn Community Council’s Novar Windfarm funding (supported by RWEnpower renewables), The Highland Council, the Co- operative Membership Community Fund and the Robert Kiln Trust.
