Time and Tide Bell

Several years ago, we stumbled across our first Time and Tide Bell, situated on the lonely Bosta beach in the Outer Hebrides. Maybe it’s our love of the sea and the family legacy of bell ringing but we were enchanted by the idea of the bell, tolling away as the tide rose. Subsequent research revealed that it was one of 12 bells sited or planned around the country, forming an art installation by Marcus Vergette. We’re now determined to visit as many bell sites as possible and are delighted to have visited Cemaes Bay and seen the wonderful installation there.
