Outer Hebrides 6 - Scalpay

The isle of Scalpay on the east coast of Harris is a beautiful spot on a sunny day. The views as we approached the new road bridge to the island were excellent with rolling hills with sheep grazing in the tranquil summer sun. The owners of this bungalow took enormous care with their garden, the equal of which I have never seen.

The mass of little islands provided excellent photographic opportunities as we slowly meandered towards the island proper. We couldn't resist stopping at each headland to admire the wonderful views. Again we were taken by surprise at the sheer beauty of the Outer Hebrides and plotted our next holiday as we breathed in the atmosphere.

The idyllic harbour with its old wreck made a pleasant picnic stop. We could have stayed much longer had time permitted.
