Mate you would love it over there.. if the weather is right, its stunning and peaceful! If the weather don't want to play, then its a right bitch! You need to go visit the island sometime mate! Totally worth it!

just one small point if you stayed on the Southern side of Tarbert side of you were In Lewis once you cross the bridge on the A859 do you enter in to Harris! otherwise they are known as the Western isles but it is a wonderful place! I know when i was there the locals were passionate as to what part of the island you were on. The round concrete bus stops to the peat stacked on the side of the road dug for use in the winter, to the helicopter re-fuelling points on the side of the roads, I went there in the summer and swam in Taransay sound and was surprised just how clear the waters were for basically swimming in the Atlantic and surprised just how warm the Gulf stream was that pass the Western side of the Island and up around the top of Scotland.

Glad you had a good time here, but may I point out a bit of a sore point. Harris and Lewis are always treated as two separate entities. So when you were in Tarbert for example you would just say Harris. We are rightly proud of our individual identities and no self respecting islander would call it Harris and Lewis! I think this is a bit of a new phenomenon, since the use of #’s but I am sure you will agree that our islands are so much more. Moran taing.

@Pack The Van And Go I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I love Harris dearly. Did you go to Huisinish? You park at the beach there and there's an amazing hike over to this other beach where you can see two seas meeting each other. There's a kinda natural causeway between Harris and the neighbouring small island, I forget its name, but when the tide comes back up the two sets of waves crash into each other and its stunning. Whitest sand and bluest water. Probs a 45 minute hike across a field and over the hill from Huisinish. We'll worth a visit
