Thank you for sharing your impressions of Lewis, Blossom - .....

Here's to spring, to life while we have it, to Callanish, sea-eagles, perhaps some dolphins out there in the Atlantic.

There is too much to say about Lewis. The peace and pace of the place is uplifting. Don't run out of anything on a Sunday as the only.. ONLY.. place open is a garage at Stornoway.

There are surprises everywhere.. I was driving over a bridge and my partner said "are those standing stones up there".. I looked and yes just in front of me on a small hill on the other side of the bridge were two standing stones, standing majestically looking out over the bay.

The Broch at Carloway was magnificent. I spent a lot of time there. It was hard to grasp just how they had built such a magnificent structure without machinery.

I saw Sea Eagles on Skye. Oh and the "fairy glen" near the port from Skye to Lewis is remakable.. really well worth a visit.

oh and Clach an Trushal is astounding.. it is huge. I really liked this stone, not just the size of it but it's position looking out to the sea.. just the "feel of it"

You really will love Lewis I think :)

Some friends once saw some photo's of me, missus and the kids playing on/in the beach/sea on Uist and said to us "we didn't know you'd been to the caribbean recently", We did laugh, you should have seen their faces when i showed them on a road map where it was, they were shocked [i bet it's nicely bleak in the winter though].
