  • Macleod’s Stone & Tràigh Niosaboit

    Walking up to Macleod´s Stone and looking down to Niseabost beach.

    My second try to walk up to Macleod Standing Stone above Niseabost beach – the first time we got swept away by rain. And again, as soon as I started to walk up the hill, it began to rain again, but at least it made it look more dramatic.

    The Standing Stone has been dated to the prehistoric Neolithic period and is believed to have been part of rituals, including funerary rites. The stones around the Standing Stones seem to be the remains of a cairn.

    Looking down towards Niseabost Beach – on the other side of the hill lies Horgabost Beach. There is also a walk from one beach to the other one, which I had planned to do, but didn´t due to the rain, which stopped as soon as I had walked down again.

    The views from the hill all around are fantastic!

  • The Layby – Seilebost

    View over Seilebost and Luskentyre in Harris

    I call it “THE layby” – the one where everyone who visits the Isle of Harris stops at least at one point (or many times in my case) – this view over Seilebost towards Luskentyre is just so stunning!

  • Sgarasta Mhòr Beach

    Walking through the dunes and along the beach at Scarista.

    Walking through the dunes towards Sgarasta Mhòr beach – the beach at Scarista. Another one of the amazing beaches on the Isle of Harris, it seems endless.

    Sgarsta Mhòr is located on the southern coast of the island and offers an amazing view towards the mountains on all sides.
