Changes

Reading back through my notes of yesteryear. Little change, yet so much has changed.
At one point, I found it necessary to struggle through bogs and moorland between the Pentland Road and the hills of Meannan and Beinn Mholach.
All those years later, I can just walk up a well-made track - to windturbines, whirring round on the summits of Meannan and Beinn Mholach.
Oh, should I wish to do so, I can walk past the turbines and head northwest into the moor towards Dalmore. Or east, back towards Stornoway along the shores of Loch Garbhaig
