About The Ray Bràiste

Is bràiste a th' ann an "The Ray" a fhuair a bhrosnachadh o gath de sholas na grèine a' nochdadh tro na neòil air latha neulach. Tha dath bunaiteach a' bhràiste dorcha, oir tha am pìos a' cleachdadh meatailt le còmhdach ròidiam dubh agus daoimean dubh. Tha clachan-uasal soilleir air an cothlamadh leis a' bhonn dhorcha gus an t-slige gu lèir a shoillseachadh. Tha na neamhnaidean a' toirt seachad soillseachadh bog, fhad 's a chuireas na daoimeanan lainnir ri taobh na meatailt dhorcha. Chaidh am bràiste a leasachadh mar mhodail dhidseatach thri-thaobhach. Tha "The Ray" a' tomhas 50 le 30 le 17 millemeatairean.
