Get the ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway, the ferry journey from the outside deck is brilliant, then tour Isle of Lewis before heading down to Harris. Google the beaches of Harris, especially Luskentyre and Seliebost beaches, plus many many others on Lewis/Harris. Trust me, I was blown away by them. Caribbean with Scottish weather. Even in rubbish weather they are stunning. In good weather, it's just paradise

fab video - just a note, the coins in the tree, not just a Scottish thing, the idea is of your not feeling well you you hammer a penny with your illness into the tree, And it is trapped there. if anyone pulls it out they will cat h the illness. they are dotted around Britain, I think there is a fairly famous one in Wales.

Took me two full days with an overnight in Kendal from Bordon in Hampshire to Inverness. whole trip round plus the one day i had in Orkney was ten days. Didn't wanna do a two-day trip back so did the trip home from Inverness to Bordon in a oner!! Not a clever idea as by the time i got home i was tone deff from the diesel engine running all day and my strength was completely zapped. Would i do the trip again? Yes but someone else can drive next time!!

It basically goes once around and a bit of criss-cross over the island; I started some day in October at dawn and was on my way to Applecross before noon. My holidays are not for geriatrics, they are hardcore driving holidays. I deny people to come along with me on the basis that they are not tough enough.
