Hey Daz,
Wee wifie & I spent a number of days on Lewis/Harris as consummate tourists. The CalMac ferry ride was a real hoot.

Saw the sights, drove on some of the most deserted highways I've ever seen, and did a bit of hiking. Very striking terrain too - much like the moon, only moister and with the occasional sheep.

You couldn't see the end of the world from where we stood, but a short walk across the scorrie and up a short rise, you sure could.

All that and we flew back to the mainland days earlier than planned. The locals just weren't anything like the inhabitants of the Scottish mainland.

Yep - that's just the way they are. Ain't no changing 'em.

Slainte,
steve
