While visiting Loch Druidibeg Nature Reserve Image], bedecked with camera and maps, I was approached by two brothers asking about local footpaths. It turned out that they were staying with their cousin, here at Creag Ghoraidh - they were natives of South Uist, but had left in 1955 for the city-life of Dundee. It says much of the changes that have taken place in the last half-century, that they felt it necessary to ask a visiting mainlander who just happened to have a map, about current footpath-access in their homeland. (They told me lots of stuff about the machair, and catching rabbits, and what life was really like in a black-house - including having no 'pocket money', which became a new joy for them when they hit Dundee!!)
