Today is a beach day… no doubt about it!
Although they are tucked away in the far west of Scotland, the beaches of the Western Isles / Outer Hebrides are in a class in their own.
Golden sand, empty beaches and parking is never a problem!
Word to the wise… don’t expect the water to be tropical!
I visited the Western Isle in 2011 after returning from Afghanistan, and fell in love with the wild openness and incredibly hospitable islanders.
