Magical Tour

 Its a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the temperatures have improved it was reading 11 degrees C in the car.  There is a little breeze which makes it feel cooler so grab your jacket and I will take you on a little adventure.  You have been here before but each visit is different, it is an everchanging land/seascape.  The constant movement of the sea and clouds in the sky make for a different picture each time you take a photo.  First stop Port of Ness.  The road down to the port is still closed so we parked near the Breakwater, a lovely restaurant/cafe overlooking the port.








Back into the car for a short drive to Stoth beach, one of the family favourites for when the children visit.  It is a small cove with steep cliffs on either side, it has a few caves so perfect for pirates and boisterous boys to wear themselves out.  Today we just stood at the top and didn't venture down, but it was a joy to marvel at the beauty.  We also had the feeling of being watched...




Watching me, watching you!






Our final stop before heading home is the Butt of Lewis and the magnificent lighthouse.



Let me take you nearer the edge of the cliff, make sure you have a firm foothold its a long way down.  I marvel at the beauty that we are surrounded by and feel blessed to live on this beautiful Island with it's unique beauty and splendour.






Back to the cottage for coffee and crumpets, hope you enjoyed this little adventure just as much as I did.

See you soon.

  2. I can almost hear the waves crashing. The sunshine is just wonderful on the water. I would love to actually walk those paths with you and see the sheep and lighthouse too.
    Blessings,

  3. And to think that storm waves can reach the lighthouse!!
    Has the road down to the harbour been damaged?

  25. How lovely. Could have done with a glimpse of the sea over the warm and sunny weekend. Hopefully this summer we can go and visit our eldest daughter regularly (she has a coastal home now).

    I bet you were so glad to be out and enjoying the scenery and hoping winter weather was totally behind you.

  28. So nice to have been able to travel along with you on this outing. You apparently had wonderful weather and the views were beautiful, especially the water and cliffs. I wondered if the lighthouse was open for visitors.

  30. What wonderful blue skies and that lighthouse is spectacular! I have thoroughly enjoyed this tour of your island. The sun's reflection on the sea makes it look like there are diamonds floating on the water! What a difference a sunny day makes! Crumpets...oh! yum! Have fun! Amanda x
