Agreed its fantastic but make sure that your trip does not include a Sunday. The locals are super religous and anything that is percieved as being "work" of any nature is strictly frowned upon. We got dirty looks for driving around sight seeing by all those driving around to go to church. And no shops or petrol stations are open in case you run out of essentials. Stornaway isn't as bad but in the more rural areas its more in evidence

Enjoy anyway and yes go and see Ron and Margaret
this will make the trip by itself very special

Great. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Particularly about staying on Sunday. I noticed there are no ferrys on that day, and couldn't figure out why, but now I get it.

Not long now, man, I can't wait. Just really hoping for good weather, I'm a bit of pansy when it comes to trudging about in the rain. With everything I've heard about Hebridean weather though, I think I may have to endure it.
