Tour of the Western isles: North Uist to Harris

There's a red house over yonder

Although there was torrential rain in parts of the Scottish mainland (A9 near Inverness part closed due to standing water at one time) we were pretty well treated by the weather. It was a fine day until late afternoon.

We spent the morning exploring more of North Uist before taking the ferry from Berneray to Leverburgh.


Fine old school building now a private home – one of the few stone buildings around – many North Uist buildings have an unattractive grey/beige harled finish


Unusual dual caravan home
Not everything is scenic!

    Harris has been for a long time home to Chubby Checker, hence:

    “ Come on, it’s tweed again like it was last summer
    Yea, it's tweed again like in every shower
    Do you remember when things were really hummin'
    Yea, it's tweed again, tweedin' time is here ...”

    Jim,

    I trust the midges are not proving too troublesome - I found the fact they do not like much wind to be a great bonus,

    Graham The midges, so far, are thankfully proving to be few and far between.
