إن هذه الصور، بما تفيض به من ضبابٍ وتلالٍ ومياهٍ ومنازل بيضاء تنام بين أحضان الطبيعة، لتدفع النفس المفكرة إلى تأملٍ لا يخلو من تساؤلات الوجود الكبرى. ففي كل منعطف من هذه الطريق، وفي كل ظلٍ تُلقيه السحب المنخفضة، يكمن درسٌ فلسفي، كأنما أرادت الطبيعة أن تهمس للإنسان بحقيقتها الأزلية.

فما هذا البيت الأبيض الصغير القابع عند حافة التل، إلا رمزٌ للذات البشرية، الضعيفة أمام اتساع الوجود، لكنها تبحث عن مأوى، عن معنى. وتلك الغيوم الممطرة، أليست كالأسئلة التي تملأ عقل الفيلسوف حين يتأمل الحياة؟ وهل تلك البحيرة الراقدة في حضن الجبال، إلا صورة للروح الساكنة حين تبلغ الحكمة؟

أما الطريق المتلوية بين المروج، فتذكرنا بمسار الإنسان نحو الحقيقة: لا مستقيم، ولا خالٍ من الضباب، لكنه محفوفٌ بالمشاهد التي توقظ الفكر، وتستنطق الوجدان. وكل قاربٍ صغير في المرفأ، إنما هو كالنفس التي أبحرت بحثاً عن اليقين، ثم عادت إلى الميناء لتُدرك أن المعرفة تبدأ من الداخل.

كأن أفلاطون يهمس في هذا المشهد: “انظر لا بعينيك، بل ببصيرتك، فالعالم الظاهر ما هو إلا ظلٌ لحقيقة أسمى”. وكأن سقراط يمر عبر هذا الطريق، متسائلاً: “ما الفضيلة إن لم تكن أن تفهم نفسك وتفهم العالم من حولك؟”

في هذا المشهد، نجد الطبيعة وقد لبست ثوب الحكمة، تصمت، لكنها...

Si trova vicino alla A87, circa 2 km oltre il villaggio di Uig, in direzione di Portree ( il sentiero che la raggiunge, lungo poche centinaia di metri, parte nei pressi dell'Uig Hotel ). È conosciuta anche come Captain Feaser's Folly, dal nome del suo costruttore. È una finta torre normanna, costruita nel 1860, da un proprietario terriero, il Capitano Fraser, appunto, ed era il luogo in cui incassava gli affitti dei contadini locali. È in un bel punto panoramico sulla baia. Non è visitabile.

Beautiful Landmark in Uig This tower is very well preserved and looks great. One of the Uig highlights.
