In Tiree, you are never far from a beach and the beautiful machair – the meadows typical for the Hebridean islands. A fertile, low-lying grass filled with wildflowers.
On this day I was doing a little loop around the island, exploring all the corners. Including a few little walks along the beach.

Old Mill – Cornaig
Work began in 1802. A lade from Loch Bhasapol to the mill was constructed with a sluice gate at the loch end. This raised the level of the water in the loch and provided a year round flow to the wheel which is of the ‘breast’ type, as the water hits the wheel at mid height. The mill was completed in 1803, and from 1804 until 1945 a succession of millers lived and worked at Millhouse. However after 1945 the mill underwent a period of dismantling and decay.

Loch Bhasapol
Loch Bhasapol is the second largest loch in the Isle of Tiree and a place of watersports.
Coming Home
The Tiree Parish Church sits along a crossroad and I arrived here from all sides it was always the sight telling me that I was almost home at Drover´s Cottage, my lovely home in Tiree.
