The A865 runs through the centre of the loch-laced flat isle of Benbecula. The large dark green shed or barn seen on the right is just beyond the track to Ardgarbh, and must be quite recent as it does not appear on Google's Streetview (see http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Gramsdale,+Benbecula&hl=en&ll=57.47317,-7.32846&spn=0.000023,0.027788&sll=41.890062,12.492549&sspn=0.004394,0.006947&vpsrc=6&hnear=Gramsdale,+Isle+Of+Benbecula,+Eilean+Siar,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=57.473554,-7.3282&panoid=nm1zCQ5DOfBW2LblAN-U4g&cbp=12,203.83,,0,13.56 ) Note: The maps show "Shieling" just south of this point, but that simply means roughly constructed hut or pasture for cattle, and is not a placename.
