In 2017 the Sandstone Press published a series of mountain essays by veteran Scottish Mountaineer Hamish Brown. His book entitled Walking the Song includes an account of a two night stay at Rhenigidale over Christmas and his walk up the isolated hill of Roineval. We are grateful to Hamish Brown and the Sandstone Press for permission to reproduce his account of a winter day in the trackless terrain of Lewis that may be unfamiliar to those who stay at Rhenigidale.
The essay is available to read here.
