Head off down a couple of roads which don't particularly led anywhere but have beautiful scenery. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere I come across a tennis court. A beautiful location and backdrop against which to play tennis - just seems a bit bizarre to have this court here - the nearest thing is the local primary school which is over a mile away.
Leave Harris and head across Lewis to the bright lights of Stornoway, the major town of the Western Isles. Again the scenery is different, from the mountainous background of Harris to the flatter moorlands and lochs of Lewis.
Enter Stornoway which, having been in remote parts of Western Isles for a few days, is suddenly a sprawling metropolis - there are traffic lights, roundabouts and even a traffic jam or two! Also seems to be a fewboy racer types with their souped Saxos and flashy Astras.
Have a brief look around Stornoway. It has a new and fantastic arts centre - complete with gallery space, a cinema/theatred a cracking bar and restaurant. Have a splendid meal there overlooking the sea/harbour as the sun sets.
