view from the ferry
heading back on the return journey
got about two minutes out of the ferry terminal and had to stop to take a pic!
stopped here to look for otters but no luck! although i did get to watch some eiders nesting
hhhmmmm ... i think these signs are put here on the causeways to slow the tourist drivers, didn't see so much as a whisker!

running across this in the rain was fun! of course, i fell in :)
huge chambered cairn on north uist
well i didn't really get much of a chance to explore, the wind was at m's back so he cycled along so quickly i had to dash along the single-track roads in the van to catch him up.
although the landscape is quite flat and in places could look bleak if you weren't used to it, it was really captivating and of course, lots of birdlife and gorgeous beaches mean we shall return for another, longer visit.
