Rubha Reidh Lighthouse



This is where I am walking in the mornings these days.  Originally I got here like this - but not on a motorcycle (although that would have been fun) - but rather in a van with four other women and our driver - Brian.  Jenny Krantz may remember another bus ride, years back, in Ireland.  On that trip the driver decided that he was afraid of heights and refused to keep going along the cliffside road.  Brian had no such issues - even though you can see the roads were treacherous as well.  There are hikers that come through - but no other people staying here as our small group has taken over all the rooms and we are using the solarium as a print / paper-making studio.  The couple who just bought this place in February are wonderful hosts - although the may not quite know what to make of us.  They have to deal with all sorts of things from pointing out whales to rescuing people who go up the paths in unsuitable shoes.  This afternoon an older woman slipped on the grass and almost went over the edge (her bag did).  She merely broke her wrist, but it could have been much much worse.  There is no 911 to call...and the nearest hospital is 85 km. away.  Away Roger went to take her there.
