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.

Superb anchorage in Hallaig bay on the east side of Raasay, with a steep but enjoyable walk up the hill to the ruined village.

There's something especially romantic about an island you can only reach from another island rather than from the Scottish mainland. This is the Isle of Raasay ferry, MV Hallaig, unloading at Sconser on the Isle of Skye. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/raasay/ferry/i…

Leonie has been working for weeks to get our little coffee & gallery up and running and today is the test run day! I still need to finish the art but we’ve got teas, coffees and treats for dogs! Wish her luck 🤞

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

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. The Caledonian Mercury - 08 Apr 1839

From the Guardian, 08 Jan 1965. "No Future For Fladda" The few remaining crofters celebrate what will probably be their final new year on the island.
