Going nowhere

Always a sad sight, a beached boat. This one is resting up behind a small abandoned village in a pretty spot opposite our house. 
With a good track in there, it is a good spot to go for a walk past a now rare thatched croft house into a large round bay called Bolltravagh. The root is almost certainly Old Norse   böllóttur vagr = ''ball-shaped bay'.which makes a lot fo sense.
If you are interested in this sort of thing, my website has a map with over 2000 place names on Uist with possible interpretations.....
