Hebrides

This is one of the blackhouses at Garennin. Blackhouses were how the islanders lived before the Clearances and depopulation of the area and shift to more modern housing. This is now a hostel where I stayed, and you can see the ruined rest of the village of Garennin, a sad and spooky reminder of the depopulation of the area and clearances that happened in the 19th and 20th centuries.
