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 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.
Found some dogs, as always.

Traigh Ghearadha – Garry Beach
Near Tolsta on the East coast on the Isle of Lewis is Garry Beach, or Traigh Ghearadha – another stunning beach, filled with Lewisian Gneiss stacks.
It is only a short walk from the parking area down to the beach and to all of the stacks – it is also the start of the Tolsta Heritage track to Ness, a hike which I still have on my to-do list for next time.
On another pretty empty beach, beside me, there was just a family having fun in the waves.
A small rocky promontory separates Garry beach from Traigh Mhòr – they are so close together but still feel pretty different. Garry beach was much more enclosed and all the stacks and caves made it extra special for me.
Just be careful, a lot of these will be surrounded by water when it is high tide.
