Beach Combing in the Outer Hebrides!

Beach on North Uist

Beach on South Uist

Isle of Eriskay

While we were in Scotland we had a week in the Outer Hebrides and as you can imagine we saw lots of beaches. We tried to stop as often as possible as the scenery was just beautiful, it was not always possible.

The first five photos are from a beach on North Uist, we had a few places which we wanted to stop and explore. This beach was just lovely and really long, there was hardly anyone about so we had it all to ourselves. We walked along the beach collecting bits and bobs and then we walked back through the machair and carried on to South Uist.

The next five photos are from South Uist and the beach at our last hotel which was called the Polochar Inn. Again it was an amazing beach and we saw lots of interesting things on the beach. Alessio and my father collected shells and rocks from all the beaches that we stopped at, so we have got quite a collection. By the way I would recommend the Inn it was really lovely.

Finally the last four photos are from the Island of Eriskay, on that day it was really cold and rainy but it did not stop us, us being hardy Scots! Again we collected our shells and stones plus Alessio was contemplating life a bit at the waters edge!
