Bragar Whalebone Arch
This is the Whalebone Arch erected by Murdo Morrison at his home. It is the jawbone of a whale which was washed ashore on the west coast of Lewis in 1921 with a harpoon still embedded in it. The "stun" charge in the nose of the harpoon failed to detonate on impact and the whale escaped with the harpoon still in position. It came ashore with extensive ropes trailing from the harpoon, which now hangs as part of the monument. At some time since Image was taken, the bones have been clad in GRP.

The village of South Bragar on the A858. The Belted Galloway cow in the field is a long way from home!

Whalebone Arch
Since I took Image] 39 years ago, the arch at Bragar has been treated with plaster or paint. Sadly, the wrought iron gates have rusted away. There was a proposal to move the arch to a hillock nearby and turn it into a work of art, but happily this did not happen and the arch remains on its original site. My thanks to Murdo Morrison for information about the arch.

Causeway to Broch in Loch an Duna
Sometimes it is possible to cross the short causeway to the Broch. On this occasion the loch was high with recent rain, and waves were breaking over the stepping stones.

Loch an D?na
This pile of stones is the remains of an Iron Age broch. When the level of the loch is low, it is connected to the shore by a short causeway. I do not know why the name of the loch is Loch an Dùna rather than Loch an Dùin, which occurs in other places.
