Saturday 16th September - Butt of Lewis

Go right to the top of the Hebrides - the Port of Ness and the Butt of Lewis. Take a bracing walk around the extreme edge of the island and look out - there is nothing between here and Canada or Greenland. The view is very clear and in the other direction I can see across 'The Minch' to the highlands of Scotland.

Pop into a gallery and end up chatting with the owner/artist. Turns out he's originally from Stoke on Trent and came out here 13 years ago. Head back into Stornoway and potter around the town and the excellent museum.

With tomorrow being Sunday the harbour is filling up as the various boats return.
