It is over a week now since I returned from a beautiful and relaxing (apart from the hellish coach journey) holiday in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
The highlight of the week, without a doubt, was the trip over to the Outer Hebrides, taking in North Uist and Harris.
The Outer Hebrides are a mass of contrasts. Some, such as Harris and Lewis, are mountainous, whilst others, such as Vatersay and Benbecula, are flat as anything. Another stark contrast in the islands is between the east and west coasts. The east coast of the islands is mainly rocky with cliffs, whereas the west coast of the islands has machir (sandy grass dunes) and lovely expansive white sand beaches.
Here is a selection of pictures of beaches from North Uist and Harris:
