20-odd miles out of Inverness on the A835 to Ullapool you will pass by the Rogie Falls on the Black Water river. This is one of the very few, well known places in Scotland where the casual visitor can see salmon attempting to leap up a waterfall. If you have yet to see the salmon leaping then this could be your best opportunity and my advise is that you should take it.

Go and see the Clava Cairns first.

A lot of rock art near the deserted settlement of Rogie too .

Will take your advice and may get lucky - perhaps see some authentic rock art too. This has been such a helpful thread for me as the journey is a big part of the experience of going to Lewis.
My notebook will have plenty written in it beforehand.
