South Geo of Lambigarth

A fine calm day but mostly cloudy.  The sun was out when I got home, but a cloudy evening.

Another day working at the Croft House Museum.  It's been a fairly quiet day as far as visitors, but they were well staggered and never stopped chatting all day.  I watered the garden this evening, before heading down to mam's for a walk.  We walked up the peat hill, and raised some of her peats.  I saw a lovely mountain hare too.  Feet up for the night now. 

I'd never been for a right walk south along the banks from the Croft House Museum, so went on an adventure at lunchtime.  I was attacked by shalders, maas, black backs, tirricks and then bonxies!  The birds were not happy with me.  I also discovered a beautiful abandoned croft, which I'll blip sometime in the right light, and then this massive geo.  I looked at an old map from 1845, and it indicates water levels right up to the foreground, but today it's a different story.  The old cliffs have crumbled, creating a natural dam.  It must have been some sight to see this collapse, and the noise.  Taken at South Geo of Lambigarth, Dunrossness.
