Tour of the Western isles: Barra to North Uist

 Barra Airport

In contrast to Thursday, yesterday was just a brilliantly sunny day. A day that, in the days of film, would have been sponsored by Kodak – impossible not to take lots of photos. We made our way leisurely from Barra to North Uist. Time to post just a few now – will post more later.

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!
