An Aerial View of Howmore
The internet provides opportunities for seeing places from different angles. Street-views may have their attractions in urban areas, but the rural aspects that are most compelling often involve looking down from above. The photograph here, of Howmore, is provided by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. However, do Go Historic and you will be invited to take an interactive tour – in which you can zoom in and dart around the location of the hostel, church, village, shore and beyond … from above. The actual experience of visiting the hostel is likely to be stimulating, for it embodies the Gatliff values, and were you to arrive by helicopter, there would be significant excitement generated all-round!
