Port Stoth

This is probably one of my favourite spots in the Isle of Lewis – this little secluded beach close to the Butt of Lewis. I discovered this one the year before while on the way to the lighthouse and had to come back this time again.

The cove is home to lots of birds and is always pretty windy.

During the construction of the lighthouse, the beach was used to transport all the material to the building site.

Arnol

Walking through the blackhouses in Arnol, Isle of Lewis.

Coming back to one of my favourite places to visit in the Isle of Lewis – the blackhouses in Arnol. Again I took a little walk through the village before visiting the museum.

The White House looks inviting, and I think the furniture has changed around a little bit since last year.

And going inside the blackhouse – it was smoky, like last year. But at least I didn´t wear a mask, that I had to throw out afterwards.

After my visit to Arnol, I continued to drive northward towards the Butt of Lewis, but there had to be a few stops. Like visiting the amazing vintage shop “Sea in Design” and a single-standing stone.

It is the last remainder of a stone circle and also the tallest standing stone in Scotland.

I visited one of the smaller beaches in the Isle of Lewis, but still a very beautiful one – Dalbeg Beach.

Right behind the beach is a pond with waterlilies and a stunning meadow, the Machair. There are also the remains of a blackhouse with beautiful views.
