Today we tramped up a very rough track to an abandoned village called Uags. The last time people lived here was around 1918. They used to come and go by boat and having made the arduous trip by land I can see why! A five mile round trip took us almost five hours.
One of the ruins has been restored as a 'bothy' and anyone can stay here for a few days for free. You can see me above enjoying a rough chair pulled together from bits of wood in the bothy's front room.
Our new friend Norman's father was born in this village. The last census taken here showed a baby of 1 year old called Mary who was perhaps the last baby to be here before me!
