Exploring the Main Street in Tobermory, Isle of Mull.

Back from my walk to the Tobermory Lighthouse, I started to explore Main Street in Tobermory. There are lots of colourful houses, independent shops, and more to see. The Main Street wraps along the Tobermory Harbour.

Where there is Scotland, there is whisky and a distillery. And there was also a very lovely vintage car parked in front of the distillery.

Welcome to Tobermory, Isle of Mull! I said goodbye to the Outer Hebrides and started my adventure in the Inner Hebrides. First stop: The Isle of Mull.

My little cottage was on a little hill in Tobermory, and when going down to the Main Road, I always got treated to this lovely view!

My first walk in Mull took me to the Tobermory Lighthouse, a nice little walk along the cliffs. After a month on the Outer Hebrides, seeing trees again and walking through the woods was lovely.

I was also lucky to find lots of raspberry bushes, and I snacked along the way.

Mull is served by quite a few ferries coming and going to Mainland Scotland.

I went back the same way, again snacking on the raspberries and enjoying the trees and views.

A walk on an empty Eoropie Beach in the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

Let´s start the year with a walk on an empty beach in the Isle of Lewis. Traigh Shanndaigh (Eoropie Beach) is huge and usually pretty loved by families and surfers. There is also a big playground right next to the beach. But for some reason this evening, I had the beach all for myself.

I was staying in Shawbost again that year, just on the other side of the beach from last year. And experienced some really lovely sunsets.
