It was time for another beach – on the way to the Mangersta sea stacks, I stopped at the stunning Mangersta beach.
Again I was all alone on a beach, even though it was a lovely warm summer’s day. But no complaints from me! I always love an empty beach!
After a little walk along the beach, I continued towards the Mangersta sea stacks, I think I didn´t find the perfect spot to look at them, but the views were still stunning. I probably needed to go further along on the track.
After my day in St Kilda, I said goodbye to Harris for now and drove to the Isle of Lewis. It was time to explore the Uig peninsula and the surrounding area. The home of the Lewis Chessmen.
Somewhere in the endless dunes of Uig Bay the ancient chessboard made out of walrus ivory was found – known today as the Lewis Chessmen. The original chessmen live in the British Museum in London, but there are still a few (very big) chessmen to be found on Lewis.
The Bay of Uig is an endless beach, one can walk for hours and just enjoy the views and take a bit of paddle in the sea.
After a lovely morning in Stornoway, I drove to Tiupam Head on the Eye peninsula, northeast of Stornoway and ending in Tiupam Head.
The perfect spot for a little walk, as usual, I followed the directions from WalkingHighlands, with just a few minor changes.
Stunning views of Harris under the clouds.
And more stunning views over the peninsula and Lewis – they just got more beautiful along the way.
