At last, a trip up to Skye with husband to walk the boundaries of the land and check out tree cover and renovation options for the barn.
The weather was truly Skye – blustery skies and squally showers interspersed with shafts of bright sunshine. It was November, so also cold and windy. We wrapped up warmly.
We spent a couple of hours on the plot, aligning the house plans with the best of the sea views over the Sound of Sleat and working out the best shelter. We’re lucky, as there are already trees on the South Western boundary which provide good shelter from the prevailing winds. We’ll need them…
And there is this beautiful outcrop of what we believe to be Lewisian Gneiss poking out of the moss at the top of the Croft.
An ancient stone. A stone for sitting and thinking, or maybe just watching the world go by.
And it’s the inspiration for the name Stone Croft..
Ravencroft Skye 
Sounds like an appropriate name, Luffy. 🙂
Thanks for following my blog, which is appreciated.
Best wishes, Pete.

You’re welcome, and thanks for reading about stonecroft! Glad to have you along for the journey.
We were a bit worried that the decrofted area of land that we were allowed to build on would have this slap bang in the middle of it, but as luck would have it it’s pretty much off to the far side of the building plot.

There is a lot of prehistory on the island. Many dolmens, brochs and even dinosaur footsteps 😁
