Stornoway waterwheel

I've just returned from the offical opening of the new waterwheel project in the Castle Grounds.

This is a fantastic project, and I am so proud to have been associated with it in a very small way. The project involves rebuilding an old mill that burnt down in 1892 and was new replaced (not in Stornoway anyway). The water powers the mill and generates energy to power the lights through part of the Castle Grounds.

It is a fabulous piece of work and we should give huge credit to the Stornoway Amenity Trust (and Tony Robson), the Stornoway Trust and to all the contractors involved in the builidng of this facility.

I'm taking my kids out there this weekend so that they can gaze in wonder at the wheel spinning.
