    August 7 in Scotland 🌧 15 °C

    After a long night we get on a bus to visit the standing stones of callaneigh. Standing stones that date back around 5000 years. Quite an impressive site.
    Of course its raining sideways. But the visitor center has a nice Cafe to warm up.
    Later on the sun comes and we take a second visit.
    Then we take a bus to the black houses, a museum with the traditional houses of the island. Including a guy that loves to talk about the Harris darn. It only took 5 attempts to leave his explanations.
    Back in Stornoway we decide to try out the not so famous Scottish cuisine.
    Time for fish and chips, fried haggis, fried black pudding and fried oreos as a desert.
    An experience in itself, but most things would have been better unfried was our final evaluation.
