Scottish Adventure - Part 2

South Uist

We then travelled over the causeway to South Uist.

Our overnight pitch on South Uist - consulting the map!

We then drove over the causeway to Benbecula and then another causeway onto North Uist.

We then caught yet another ferry over to Harris.

Harris

We visited a couple of shops selling Harris tweed and saw an exhibition of the weaving.







We then drove onto Lewis - Harris and Lewis are really the same island.

Lewis

The scenery was very similar to Harris.



We then made our way to Stornaway - and actually found somewhere which is much windier than The Lizard!

Carvings of the Lewis Chessmen




More carvings around Stornaway





We then caught our final ferry from Stornaway to Ullapool.

  1. Looks like the perfect time to visit Harris -tweeds. Very smart to consult the maps - as GPS not always reliable. Looks very open and like our flat lands here, Anne.
