Aye, after the final leg of my cycle that day, OS marks were the last thing on my mind

Finally home...
One promised earlier, apparently quite a few around the town and the harbour but there must have been a rough cast epidemic at some point. Buildings are coated from top to pavement in the stuff.

Stornoway, North Beach

My in-laws used to live in Swainbost. Are there any BM's etc that far up the island?

I'll scour the database and look.
.
Isn't this a small world, eh?
My wife's grandfather was born there a long, long time ago, his grandfather was moved there as a child with his family in the Clearances from Uig(further north)
I'm just back at midnight last night so catching up with everything.
I assume you've cycled up there?
if not get there, the trip I took has absolutely everything..
@PeteXXX

This also takes in Cross, Lionel, Ness(I hope)

Nearby Round House has had the BM covered/removed.

Anything on the other stone?

 

[classic33]

At the foot o'stairs, not the base

Of this, Wainhouse Tower

Also a Trig Point, at the top. John Noakes abseiled down it a few years ago.

The Feathers Inn, King Cross/Aachen Way

Junction Inn, King Cross/Queens Road

Walls of a former church grounds. It's as though they "squared off" the graveyard, now "landscaped" (flattened), Letters on the South wall, numbers on the West wall.

Anything on the other stone?

Not that I saw, sorry. Fail on my part not to do closer inspection.

Two lonely stone posts in the middle of nowhere, and one gets all the attention.
