Outer Hebrides 2010

After many years away we (my father and myself) revisited the Outer Hebrides in 2010. We had family holidays there in the 1970s. Originally intending to start the tour from Oban on board CalMac's ferry to Lochboisdale, we had to change plans due to non availability of space on the ferries caused my a major breakdown. Instead we travelled from Glasgow to Mallaig and on to Uig in Skye where were spent the first night. Next morning, a depressingly dull and misty day we travelled by MV Hebrides to Locmaddy in North Uist. For the next two days we explored the Uists, Benbecula and Eriskay from a base near Balivanich. Next we crossed to Harris on MV Loch Portain and spent two days on Harris and Lewis before returning to the Scottish mainland at Ullapool on MV Isle of Lewis
