Tour of the Western Isles: Harris – sorting out some photos

Inside of Rodel Church at the southern end of Harris

Time this evening to sort out a few more photos taken during our tour of the Hebrides in early August. These are all from the southern part of Harris – staggeringly beautiful. The east coast is all rocky land with small sea inlets, while the west has some gloriously white sandy beaches.

This dog wanted to play ball with anyone visiting the church

Tour of the Western isles: Oban to Barra

Leaving the hills of Morven behind

The weather is obviously keen to demonstrate how quickly it can change in the west of Scotland. The fine weather of yesterday afternoon gave way to rain overnight and increasing mist of rain as we headed across to Barra by way of Coll and Tiree – a seven hour journey that passed remarkably quickly as there  was much to see for two thirds of the journey as we passed through the islands and the western mainland of Scotland.

It will all come right in the wash!
