You can never have too much cupboard space

Storage solutions St Kilda Style.

Everywhere you look, stretching up to the horizon.

Cleits;

Cool.

Extremely well ventilated.

Constructed from locally available materials.

Perfect for storing eggs, feathers, crops, peat and turf.

Alternative uses: a perfect home for nesting birds and primitive sheep should your storage needs change; perhaps if you decided to move away to the mainland.

Photos from my trip to St Kilda in August.

About this blog

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight.

'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.

This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.
