Walking around Stornoway

After feeding me a large, delicious breakfast (with white pudding - or marag geal as it's called. YUM!) Donnie's mother offered to drive me into town (not a very far distance) so that I could walk around the town. I went to the museum and walked around to the shops and such.
Many of the shops had Gaelic signs.


The ferry.


A cake I saw in a window.

Walking towards Lewes Castle.








Failte gu Mod 2011!



Large reproductions of the Lewis Chessmen  at a coffee shop near the castle.






A wicker woman! 






A hooded crow!!!!





One of the gates to the castle.

  4. These pictures are awesome! I especially love the giant, turning wicker woman. It's totally spooky and great! Why were there so many art pieces around?
