A Trip to Scotland and the Western
Isles July 2000 
dansk
Bagh Siar, Vatersay, Scotland
© Ole Jacobi July 2000
In the bay of Bagh Chornaig we see a seal sticking its head out of
the water, and further on we come to the beatiful beaches at Bhatarsaigh,
the southernmost village of the islands. We sit on the beach and look out
over the bay of Bagh Siar where an emigrant ship, the Annie Jane was wrecked
in the 1850s with 350 casualties. A bit inland, on a hill, there is a memorial
to the event. Like many other places on the islands, the beaches are backed
by dunes, and further inland the land is covered by the machair, short
grasses interspersed with thousands of different flowers.
