Exploring the Isle of Tiree,

Another day, another walk on the beach. In Tiree, I was always walking on a beach. And we had quite a few stunning days!

I ate lunch at the Farmhouse Café in Balemartin and walked along the coast and beach. There is a flock of highland cows right next to the café.

A postbox from the Victorian era – I was passing by here all the time and also put a few cards in.

An Turas

The Art installation An Turas in the Isle of Tiree.

When you arrive by ferry in the Isle of Tiree you will see this art installation near the ferry port.

An Turas is in, and of, the landscape and the place … it is that which gives it its meaning. (Visit Tiree)

An Turas is a collaboration between two young Scottish architects and a group of artists – a combination of architecture and art.

Behind the Tiree Lodge Hotel and just a short walk from the beach are the two ancient chapels of Kirkapol.

The bigger one dates to the 14th century is the former parish church dedicated to Saint Columba. The smaller chapel also was dedicated to St Columba and goes back to the 13th century.
