Limited edition
July 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
This phone booth is a limited edition with double doors. But it's not a coin phone anymore - it's a card phone 😳😳😳 Still working and with modern technology...
Locals say this is the last signRead more
Bridge over the ocean
July 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Today we didn't take the ferry but the bridge over the ocean, as the Bernera Bridge is also called.
Not impressive in length, but nevertheless very important:
Great Bernera is separated from Lewis byRead more
Idyllic
July 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
If you think of the Isle of Lewis to be idyllic - in comparison with Great Bernera it's NYC downtown...
There's a lovely rural atmosphere on that little island.
High Tide Bell
July 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
On the pristine Bosta Beach, which has links with the Iron Age, the Vikings and the Highland Clearances, was an Iron Age house found after a storm, buried under the sand.
In 2010, Bosta Beach wasRead more
Oldy but goldy plus vegan
July 20, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
As I mentioned before, the charging situation in Lewis is not the greatest. But somehow as more remote as more charging options... We've found a very old fashioned but rather fast charging option inRead more
The Stacks
July 21, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Garry Beach in the North West of Lewis is a real spectacle.
During low tide you can walk between amazing sea stacks and explore sea caves. But be aware of the tide - from mid tide the water is comingRead more
Vegan EV TravellersThe app always shows the time of the photos, it was early evening, but a typical Lewis moody one.
The fishing hut
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
What a wonderful find this fishing hut in the Kinloch area is. In the background the Harris Hills. I love spots like this, they tell a story about the vast space in Lewis and Harris.
Lost Beauty
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
This lovely cottage with direct loch access is a lost place. And I wonder what happened. It's in a beautiful location, why did nobody want to take care of it?!?
It already has electricity, it mustRead more
First in Harris
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
This lovely little shed was the first spot in Harris. And it's probably a good symbol for the Isle.
Vegan in Tarbert
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
In full and warm sunshine we got not only a delicious vegan lunch at the Waterside Café. Next door Essence of Harris is selling vegan candles (made from soy wax) and vegan body lotion and body wash.Read more
For free!

Incredible - a rapid charger just next to the ferry terminal in Tarbert, where charging is still for free 😳
Simply Harris
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
This speaks without words. This is the neighborhood of our cottage for the next week.
Massively beautiful.
We won't complain
July 22, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Our new home for the next few days.
Somewhere in South Harris
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Best thing to do for discovering Harris is driving around and stopping when you see something interesting. Like here at Loch na Moracha.
The hearty salt marsh
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
While scouting for a composition at Northton Salt Flat, I saw this lovely heart shaped little islet.
Tea from Harris
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Unfortunately no green tea - but in this interesting turf roofed cafe at the most beautiful Atlantic coast you can get wild flowers tea (and more) all sustainably grown in Harris
What a story
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
This is the Scarista Bus.
And yes, it looks derelict and ramshackled.
But what a lovely story - unfortunately without a happy ending. And here we go:
A mysterious, weather-beaten bus lies on one ofRead more
Post Office
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
This was once the Scarista post office. Now a playground for many photographers who love the lost places atmosphere of Harris. BUT: the phone booth is still working!
The Boss
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
There's no doubt that she's the boss of the settlement Lacklee!
And lost again
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Another lost place but with a working phone booth (I suppose locals don't appreciate mobile phones...): The former Stockinish post office.
What a view
July 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
A typical Harris view, here over Geocrab.
Highland Youngsters
July 24, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
If you're out early for a morning walk, before the tourists wake up, you can meet cute teddy bears.
Carribbean Style
July 24, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
A Carribbean worthy beach with a ruined medieval chapel on top of a headland - I could think of a better way to start the day!
Connecting
July 25, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
This morning was all about connecting with the Isle of Lewis.
I tried to tell the story of what I feel: an island between decay and beauty. Between past and future. A vast landscape but no loneliness.Read more
