Calgary Beach

On my way home to Tobermory, I did a little detour to Calgary Bay and Calgary Beach.

From a lovely little beach coffee to cute dogs and lots of white sands, Calgary Beach is worth a detour. Perfect for a nice stroll along the waves.

Baliscate Standing Stones

Baliscate, near Tobermory, was one of the early settlements before the village of Tobermory was created in 1788. The standing stones of the Isle of Mull are often arranged in the form of a small row of between three and five stones, which makes them unique to the Western Isles, and also the rest of Scotland.

Traigh Shanndaigh – Eoropie Beach

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.

No complaints here!

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.

Butt of Lewis

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.

Butt of Lewis Lighthouse

Continue to the lighthouse up the road and take a little walk around the clifftops.

Again, so many birds.
