Vatersay

Vatersay (Scottish Gaelic: Bhatarsaigh, pronounced [vaʰt̪əɾs̪aj]) is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Vatersay is also the name of the only village on the island.

Location

The westernmost permanently inhabited place in Scotland, Vatersay is linked to Barra by a causeway completed in 1991. At low tide, the island is also linked to the islet of Uineasan to the east.

Wildlife

Wildlife on the island includes otters, seals and herons. Bonnie Prince Charlie's flower (Calystegia soldanella), reputedly originating from French seeds dropped by Bonnie Prince Charlie is, in Scotland, found only on Vatersay and Eriskay.

Archaeology

The island has remains of an Iron Age broch at Dun a' Chaolais overlooking the Sound of Vatersay and nearby is a passage grave dated to the 3rd millennium BC. There is also a Bronze Age cemetery at Treasabhaig south of the heights of Theiseabhal Mòr and a cairn built circa 1000 BC west of the village of Vatersay. The offshore islet of Biruaslum has a walled fort that may be of Neolithic provenance.

Look At Me Now

by: Faders

Have you evr felt you should be running away
Have you ever felt like you were always to blame
Nobody Listens
Day after day it's the same
O Oh O Oh
And Then You Couldn't gone it inside
That makes you just want to get up and fight
Well that's how i felt
The day that i left you behind
Do you remember?
You said i got it all so wrong
That i could never be someone
You said that i was just a little girl who doesn't know
O o o
You always shut me up
Put me down
Betcha feelin' stupid now
My lifes moving on and your still waiting
Its funny how, The stories turned around
Look At Me Now
Its a shame you could'nt open your eyes
And see it then but baby it's no surprise
Cos' You were always the big man
Always So Full of asvise
O Oh O Oh
Do You Remember?
You said i got it all so wrong
That i could never be someone
You said that i was just a little girl who doesn't know
O o o
You always shut me up
Put me down
Betcha Fellin' Stupid now
My lifes moving on and your still waiting
Its funny how, The stories turned around
Just Look At Me Now
Look At Me Now
You Said i got it all so wrong
That i could never be someone
Your said that i was just a little girl who doesn't know
O o o
You Always try to put me down
I betcha feelin' stupid now
Cos' I could Fed Up, Got Up, Got Out
And I'm turning around
Look At Me Now
Just Look At Me Now
Take A Look At Me Now

Betcha Feelin' stupid now
My Lifes Moving on And still waiting
