I spent the morning reading about 'Agricultural practice in the Hebrides in 1811'.
I almost didn't read the article as I thought it sounded very boring. However I did and it was fascinating and very sad and was all about the decline that led finally to the evictions of all the people from those beautiful Islands.
This afternoon we walked through a part of the Sutherland hills where the people met with the same fate.
The walk was beautiful because the country is empty.It is miles and miles of nothings or as some say - miles and miles of b****r all.
This is where the term MAMBA comes from.
