Our first day on Barra (07-30-19) by Julie

Croit Na H Aiblne (croft with a river) B N B-
Mary Ann our hostess, is the Gaelic teacher
at the island School and  was pleased to
advise Sue that based on her family history  she is a Hebridean! Mary Ann also "rang up" Culum, the local genealogist who was happy to meet with us in the morning and provide Sue with an abundance of information.

After meeting with Culum we took a driving tour around the island.

It was fun to meet the local oyster farmers....

Saint Barr's Catholic Church is the oldest church on the island 

Barra airport; the only beach in the world where commercial planes land, only at low tide!

After watching a plane land we crossed the road and walked a path  of grassy  dunes to the Traigh Eais beach on the Atlantic.  The guys watched as Sue and I took off our shoes and cooled off our toes.

Hand picked Scallops ! Perfect meal to end our  day wonderful to discover Barra with Sue and Paul.
