Bill, haven't heard anything. Can anyone else confirm?

Of course it could be the poster from the other forum had too much bevy at the Suthen' games and was mistaken.

Surely not.

What is the other forum? Could ask 4th Gen but there was alot of mist last night so might not have seen much.

Do hope not. The Byron Darnton Tavern on Sanda is a wonderful place to visit.

"facebook news" reports you could see the flames from Southend but that it was actually a barn that was on fire??

A member of the Fire Brigade confirmed to me this afternoon that the fire on Sanda was not the bar but some sort of outbuilding.

As I was driving my friends home from the post Highland Games revelry in the Argyll Arms we could see the flames very clearly from the road....dancing high in the night sky.

I looked with the binoculars when I came in and the flame seemed huge. I looked again at 3.30 and the fire was out.

The initial local word was that it was all gone but, thankfully, that is not the case. But I think the outbuilding housed the generator and all the electrics for the Byron Darnton and cottages and my local Sanda expert friend says that means the pub/resaurant will be out of action for all of this summer.

It could have been a lot worse.
