Isle of Harris | Outer Hebrides | Scottish Highlands & Islands Travelogue 2018 | S1E9

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We take the Calmac ferry from the Isle of Skye to the Hebridean Isle of Harris!

After an unplanned early start (see video!), we depart the Torvaig Campsite on Skye and drive across the island to the ferry terminal at Uig. From there we load the Land Rover Defender 110 onto the CalMac ferry for the two-hour journey to Tarbert on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.

We spend the afternoon cruising around Harris taking in the amazingly unique landscape which ranges from unearthly, almost martian-looking, rockscapes, to golden beaches, to turquoise oceans, to pastoral vistas to peat bogs. The island features thousands of lochs, both freshwater and saltwater, and these pepper the landscape. Patches of blue sky punctured the blustery rain, and Harris is beautiful because of, rather than in spite of, the changeable weather.

For the evening, we then head to Lickisto Blackhouse Campsite where proprietor Greig was good enough to prepare a yurt for us, even though we were actually out of season! Highly recommended if you're on Harris - blackhouses are dry-stone walled structures with thatched roofs and there are several well-maintained communal blackhouse buildings at the site with shower, bathroom, cooking and a stone hearth in the main blackhouse.
