Weather forecast not too good for tomorrow but we decided we would be OK in Castlebay and so we would explore today. After shopping it was lunchtime. Afterwards we climbed the 2 hills behind the harbour, which was hard work in the heat and out of the wind. Great views both N and S over the islands, but limited by haze. We then found the Chambered Cairn which was mentioned in the Islands book (using its map ref and GPS). A bit disappointing that it was collapsed so not possible to enter. Then a trek back over the side of the hills to the harbour.
Follow the track
to the cairn and back to the boat on Google Maps.
