I used one of the nicer days in Barra for a walk from Loch Tangasdale to Dùn Bar and back to Halman Bay. Follow the exact walk here on Walking Highlands.
Starting from a phone booth, I passed an old bunker from World War 2 and soon saw the Loch on my left.
Across the loch I saw the remains of Macleod’s Tower near the far shore; the tower dates back to 1430 and is thought to have been built on the site of an iron age crannog.
View over the loch while I start my ascend of Beinn Tangabhal going through a small glen beneath Beinn Tangabhal and Beinn na Leig and passing the remains of former houses.
It was a few steps after this picture that I found myself hip-deep in a mud hole – not the most fun experience but I got out again and continued. It was pretty wet and muddy everywhere after the weeks and months of a lot of rain.
View toward Halman Bay and the stunning beach.
Continuing to the cairns and the amazing views over the west coast of Barra.
I tried to find the way to the fort, Dùn Ban, but in the end, I just enjoyed the views.
On the way back looking back to the cairns.
Halman Bay and some time on the beach.
