The Great Wall of Bhaltos, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland / by Christoph Corves

I like to call this wall "The Great Wall of Bhaltos". Building dry stone walls is a craft and an art on the Outer Hebrides. This wall is a beautiful example of this land art. It crosses the Bhaltos Peninsula, which is owned by the Bhaltos Community Trust. The Bhaltos Community Trust was the first community trust that was founded to take over the community's crofting land on the Outer Hebrides, in 1998. It set an important example for other communities to follow suit in the comunity-based Scottish land reform movement.
