Two recent webinars with @oneplacestudies.bsky.social on churchyard carvings helped me look at St Clements on Harris with a new light. Sadly none in my #OnePlaceStudies place. (and yes, there is a sheela-na-gig). #OnePlaceWednesday

Not sure we were supposed to photograph this slimline Victorian #postbox whilst on a birding holiday in Redcastle. Sadly all those in my #OnePlaceStudies place are standard EIIR issue. Any good ones in your places? #OnePlaceWednesday

One of the issues raised is the nature of oral vs written historical records. The Hebrides has a rich oral culture, whilst traditionally historians have valued written over oral sources. This has implications for whose history is told and to what effect. But is it changing? #OnePlaceWednesday

Fine example of #OnePlaceStudies by Hebrides People. £5 for an excellent exhibition, £70 to get out of the bookshop. Can't think how that happened... #OnePlaceWednesday

First thing I've seen in the CIIIR livery. Sadly, there probably won't be many postboxes.

Interesting numbered stone in Little Switzerland, Cheshire. House number or upside-down datestone? Or?
