The Sheans













Thursday 16th April



A rather cloudy morning broke into sunshine as we set off to climb The Sheans. We crossed traditional scottish moorland and then an area of peat flats, before reaching the trig point at the top. On the descent into Lamlash, we passed a beautiful traditional stone sheep fank (for holding the sheep for dipping or shearing), as well as a Chamber Cairn (shown in the photo). The unexpected sunshine was appreciated by the wildlife as much as us: we saw a lizard enjoying the spring sun, and then managed to creep up on a hare dozing in the warmth.
