And To-day

Early start to-day, away in the dark to Portree. Loading up at 7am, away not long after, stopped on route to chat with the crew on S D Mars, looked like a good shift for them to me. They were telling me of hundreds of dolphins and shoals of Makerel. Into Portree lots of warm water flowing into the Bay in Portree by the look of it. Delivered venison to Tom whose Deer Hound pups (11 of them) were doing well on Rona Venison Dog Food ( a wee sideline but good to use up the trim) gorgeous pups btw. Portree quiet for a change although a few tourists about. Good run back then in for a swim with the seals, happy days. Every day like this makes the winter shorter. Long may it continue.

About Bill Cowie

I've been living on the island since April 2002, alone for the first 5 years, my partner L joined me in 2007. We manage the Island for a Danish family who bought the Island in the early 90's. Their hopes for the Island are to make it self sufficient supporting its inhabitants and that is where we come in. We look after the stock, 3 holiday cottages, machinery, boat and of course the visitors. It is pretty challenging but it is a beautiful place to live and work, we love it and strangely enough we love it even more in the depths of winter when all is quiet apart from the gales and rain. We do a bit of fishing, stock work, stalking deer and loads of other stuff. We have good support from lots of people whom we have met over the years and have become involved in the Island. Too many to mention here but keep an eye on the blog, they'll be there for sure in the future.
