  • Ness

    Walking along Ness harbour and beach.

    I arrived in Ness – as it was a Sunday everything was closed and pretty empty. I used the low tide for a long walk on the impressive beach right next to the harbour of Ness.

    In the shelter of a rocky islet at Port of Ness, you will find the little harbour that has seen the local seamen off on many a mission, including the traditional annual journey to the island of Sula Sgeir where locals are licensed to capture gannet for food following in their ancestors’ traditional footsteps.

    At the northern tip of the Isle of Lewis lies the parish of Ness, offering a unique insight into the legends, lore and long-observed traditions that have shaped the island’s unique identity – as well as being a stronghold of the Gaelic language with a large majority of locals claiming Gaelic as their mother tongue.

    Per usual dark clouds on one side and blue sky on the other one – that´s just how it is.

  • Walking along the beach with cows

    Walking along a beach on the Isle of Lewis with cows.

    The last stop before I reached Lewis was a lovely rocky beach where I went for a walk and suddenly I had company – the company of cows. Cattle seem to love beach walks!

  • Traigh na Beirghe – Reef Beach

    Continuing my travels around the UIg peninsula and going to Reef Beach in Lewis.

    I was continuing my drive around the Uig Peninsula and did a little turn towards Keep and Reef Beach – Traigh na Beirghe. The clouds set in, but there were also rays of sunshine, more or less a usual Scottish summer´s day.

    Looking down towards Kneep under the clouds, but the Hebridean sea always has this stunning turquoise water!

    After a little walk around the tiny harbour and the beach, I continued to Reef Beach for a long walk.

    There are always these tiny spots of wildflowers on the beaches – and again here is another stunning, white and endless Lewisian beach.

    There is a campsite behind or better said in the dunes of the beach, so this one was actually a bit “busy”, but darker clouds were setting in.

    After a long walk, I continued going towards my next accommodation in Shawbost.
