EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, Geoff Trinder takes us on a journey to the enchanting Gearrannan Blackhouse Village in Carloway, Lewis. The image zooms in on the intricate wall and roof structure of these beautifully restored thatched cottages, transporting us back to 1859. Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, these traditional blackhouses stand as proud guardians of history. As we marvel at their close-up details, it's like peering through a time portal into an era when life was simpler and roofs were made to withstand Atlantic Ocean storms! The United Kingdom may be known for its castles and palaces, but here we witness the humble charm of island living. These cottages are more than just buildings; they are cozy havens that have weathered centuries of wind and rain. With every straw carefully woven together by skilled hands, each roof tells a story - tales whispered by generations past. It's as if they hold secrets from times gone by within their very fibers. So come along and let your imagination run wild! Picture yourself strolling down those cobblestone paths or sipping tea by the hearth inside one of these charming abodes. Let this print transport you to a place where tradition meets nature – where walls embrace stories untold against an awe-inspiring backdrop of sea and sky. Gearrann
