The Black Lochs.
The open heather-moorland road contrasts with the rest
of the 'Garden of Skye'. The lochs are 'black' because
of the peaty water. The road goes over Drochaid Airidh
na Suiridhe, the Bridge of the Sheiling of Courtship.
At the sheilings, the rough huts used by young cattle-herders
in the summer 200 or so years ago, it would seem that
more than the cattle were receiving attention! |
