In search of crime!

One of the unexpected delights of our Hebridean holiday was being able to put into geographical context, some of the locations used by Peter May for settings in his Lewis Trilogy of crime novels.  We didn’t embark on a pilgrimage but as Lewis has so few roads and populated communities, it was inevitable that we would stumble across them we explored.  Accidentally discovering the derelict cottage at Skigersta, used as the model for Fin’s aunt’s house (identified in Peter May’s book, “Hebrides” with photographs by David Wilson) was a wonderful bonus after our enthusiastic exploration of Ness, Uig and Barvas
