A couple of weeks ago we took a little trip to the Outer Hebrides, taking the ferry from Uig on the Isle of Skye to Tarbet on Harris.
On the ferry we saw gas being supplied to the Outer Isles and lifeboats above our heads...
Lots of small islands, sea stacks and rocks...
A lighthouse with a red hat and a beautiful wake showing where we came from...
Onwards to Harris in the clouds. We embarked off the ferry in Tarbet and headed south straight away towards the sandy beaches of Luskentyre...
Walking through the dunes and marram grass to the beach...
Round the corner to a beauty of a beach with more hills of Harris across the way..
Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, we could almost be in the Caribbean if only there was a bit of heat!
Walking closer to the sea, I spot some Starfish washed up...
We had the beach all to ourselves and what do you know, the mist and rain start to appear! {we are in the far NW of Scotland after all!}
Footprints
More beautiful swirly Starfish...
and amazing reflections in the wave trails on the sand..
Then we head back to Tarbet to get dry, for a spot of lunch and a mooch around. {doesn't this shop look like it holds so many interesting tales and stories of the sea and islands}
Up next in the Summer on Skye series: Lewis where we encounter ancient standing stones, a broch, more sandy beaches, chessmen and colourful buildings in Stornoway!
Looks like a good trip. I especially like your picture of the lighthouse. It's looking so fierce with it's red hat :-)
ReplyDeleteThe lighthouse was so cute, looks so much like a person in its hat!
