Isle of Harris- Outer hebrides
A beautiful journey down the Harris mountain road took us to Huisinis Beach where there is a lovely 8km mountain loop. A lot of the beaches have little community run cafes and facilities and free parking
We then travelled to the Isle of Scalpay along the windy roads that meandered through the tiny little islands and we saw no other people. Apparently with the cancellation of many of the ferries the islands had started to hatch down for the winter months.
Our campsite was literally on the beach and was so blustery and wet we pan fried some fresh Scallops, got monopoly deal out and spent the evening playing cards.
Next day the sun shone and we travelled the whole of south harris taking in Luskentrye beach, the golden road, Nisabost and Seilbost beach. Definitely worth a day trip but the beaches were so windy Indi couldn’t walk on them as her eyes were filling up with sand 🙈!
We’ve loved our time on the two islands and being in the camper. It’s felt like a good reset, taking some time out in nature and we are grateful for the time we’ve been able to spend here.
