as we left Uig on Skye the rain seemed to sweep in and swallow it up behind us

When we reached Tarbert on Harris, the rain was horizontal



No access to our cottage til later in the day, so off we head to Stornoway, where ancient fishing boats come to linger in reminiscence



of herring girls long-gone

Then it’s back down to Harris, and there’s now some hope of sunshine in the afternoon air


The boundary between Harris and Lewis seems as much a matter of geology as politics, as we cross it at the bottom of the pass over the North Harris mountains which lie between Ardhasaig and Loch Seaforth.



Ardhasaig will be our base for the next week. We picked it for its apparent potential for stunning views of mountains, loch and ocean. For now, it’s enough to settle in as gloomy turns to gentle island gloaming



Some light, eh!!!
