The Hebridian way of life is dying out - the gaelic is being lost, and newcomers to the islands are bringing with them their own way of life; hence they feel the need for Sundays to be the same as all other days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-24975504991613226092009-10-29T20:43:41.386+00:002009-10-29T20:43:41.386+00:00I wonder if Andy Murray has played here?I wonder if Andy Murray has played here?Pyatshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215788105938683911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-15519279987333626832009-10-28T03:20:27.956+00:002009-10-28T03:20:27.956+00:00According to my source, 'Bunabhainneadar' ...According to my source, 'Bunabhainneadar' is Gaelic for 'the UK's most remote car park where people, by tradition, leave their seatbelts hanging out of their car doors... except on the Sabbath.' <br /><br />Fantastic post, Neil. :-)ms toast burnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814575117201965403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-90106406572033689552009-10-27T23:23:42.175+00:002009-10-27T23:23:42.175+00:00Okay, hands down, that is one weird tennis court. ...Okay, hands down, that is one weird tennis court. cool!A Scatteringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071957279379194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-6356927900409242402009-10-27T17:15:03.917+00:002009-10-27T17:15:03.917+00:00It probably matters a lot on that court what is th...It probably matters a lot on that court what is the direction where the wind blows.

I would gladly return to the porn free sunlit Sundays of my youth where the high point of Sundays was a stroll on the beach, in the botanical gardens or a visit to the museum or art gallery.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-19124502015768166872009-10-27T01:29:23.569+00:002009-10-27T01:29:23.569+00:00Hmm, I think, given the location -however it's...Hmm, I think, given the location -however it's pronounced, that to limit play on Sunday is rather ridiculous! I can't imagine the court is clamouring with players Monday through Saturday. They might want to ask players to stop by on Sunday and commune with their balls and make a racket playing in all that lovely fresh air in Burhahdhaoonadondan..or wherever!Susan Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155106135649887676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-14654168710836114462009-10-27T00:58:57.245+00:002009-10-27T00:58:57.245+00:00That is weird.

Anyway, I love it! Doesn't look as though there's a lot of sport taking place here, but it is beautiful and remote. I'm not religious and now that I'm retired I can pretty much slow down whenever I choose.
