Tobermory Lighthouse

Welcome to Tobermory, Isle of Mull! I said goodbye to the Outer Hebrides and started my adventure in the Inner Hebrides. First stop: The Isle of Mull.

My little cottage was on a little hill in Tobermory, and when going down to the Main Road, I always got treated to this lovely view!

My first walk in Mull took me to the Tobermory Lighthouse, a nice little walk along the cliffs. After a month on the Outer Hebrides, seeing trees again and walking through the woods was lovely.

I was also lucky to find lots of raspberry bushes, and I snacked along the way.

Mull is served by quite a few ferries coming and going to Mainland Scotland.

First glimpse of the lighthouse with views of the mainland behind. Rubha nan Gall was built in 1857.

You can see inside the beautiful keeper’s cottage, which is now a holiday accommodation.

I went back the same way, again snacking on the raspberries and enjoying the trees and views.

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.

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

Again, so many birds.
