About this spot
Not just houses meet their demise on Scalpay, Harris, and Lewis. Cars, bikes, camper vans, even bathtubs – you name it. In the Hebrides, disposal isn't a concept; abandonment is the norm. Decay becomes an integral part of the landscape. And let's not forget the many abandoned boats and ships, like this behemoth of a wreck that seems impervious to the elements.
You'll find it near the Scalpay Bridge on the Scalpay side. It's an easy stop – just pull over by the shore and start snapping. Gloomy weather works particularly well for this subject, as the serenity of the background contrasts sharply with the decaying shipwreck.
