NIGHT SKIES AT LOCHEND CHALETS

Although we do not have dark skies status, too near the big cities, we still have wonderfully unpolluted skies that on a clear night have just the most phenomenal array of stars, including seeing the milky-way as Paul Barr, a local fisherman and photographer, shows above.

It isn't common but we tend to see them at least once a year. However even the different moon views we have is spectacular.
