Garenin (Gearrannan), Isle of Lewis, Scotland

Auf Entdeckungsreise auf Lewis und Harris, zwei der äusseren Hebriden, finde ich einsame Landschaften, die an einem Sonntag noch einsamer erscheinen... Hier ein Foto der restaurierten Katen, die in Garenin zu finden sind. Sie sind nicht nur Museumsstrücke, sondern werden auch als Ferienhäuser vermietet...sehr interessant.

On my discovery trip of Lewis and Harris, two of the outer Hebrides I find lonely landscapes, that seem even more lonely on Sunday.... This is a photo of the restored croft houses that can be found in Garenin. They are not only museum exhibits, but can be rented as vacation houses as well - very interesting.

Gemäss der offiziellen Webseite Schotlands/As described on Scotland's official website www.visitscotland.com:
Further west on the coastal A858, the landscape becomes less monotonous as you approach the parish of Carlabhagh (Carloway), with its scattering of croft houses. A mile-long road leads off north to the beautifully remote coastal settlement of Gearrannan (Garenin), where nine thatched crofters houses the last of which was abandoned in 1973 have been restored.

Und ein bisschen Musik, die ich bei Manuel Glogers Schottlandfotos entdeckt habe und die sehr gut passt: http://www.deezer.com/track/songs-of-the-hebrides-skye-boat-song-T332743
