Isle of Lewis Tour Whale Bone Arch
Sunday, April 20, 2008
This evening I am presenting an image from a recent tour of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
This whale bone arch is situated between two houses in Bragar. The two bones are the lower jaw bones of a Blue Whale and were removed from a beached whale in 1920 together with the harpoon which was still in the whale together with intact explosive charge.
