    Wow! Left pretty speechless by this to be honest. Truly, the most stunning beaches we have ever seen! ⛱️. A wild swim or a dook, doesn't matter what you call it, these memories will stay with you forever!
    Thanks for taking us along, one day, we will visit here for ourselves 😊

    I actuly think this is one of your best videos. We love all the scenic mountain stuff but its refreshing to see you and the family relaxing and enjoying such wonderful scenery. Can't believe you haven't been to Harris before!

    Can't beat the views from Horgabost, it's just got everything! Hills, sand, sea and sky, the absolute perfect combination 😊 plus a lovely machair that blooms beautifully in the summer.

    Absolutely loved your videos put out over the festive period.
    We cannot believe that you were on Harris the same time as us. We too had visited the Outer Hebrides for the very first time, starting off at Uists before staying in Lewis.
    Not realising just how big the islands were, we only managed to explore Lewis and North Harris before having to return to the mainland. I cannot wait to return as we have so much more to explore.
    You mention other beaches on the west coast, especially and I can highly recommend you look into staying near Uig as the beaches around there are stunning, although a little smaller than Luskentyre etc, but just as stunning. Check out Uig Sands with the Uig Chessmen & one of the best small whisky distilleries (Abhainn Dearg) I’ve experienced. Say hi to Marko! The whisky is amazing.
    Also Bosta Beach on Bernera with the Iron Age Houses & Reef & Cliff beaches & Mangersta Beach with its sea stacks, to name but a few.
    In addition if you didn’t already, Husinish was beautiful but the best side is across the dunes from Husinish beach via the sandy track overlooking Scarp (isle). There is a cliff edge walk to a stunning remote beach Traigh Mheilein.

    Harris is astonishing and I'm glad you saw those beaches at their finest, with that kind of weather. The Uists, Vatersay and Barra, while not having the same height of hills as Harris, do have some fine beaches as well and some decent hills. Great series of videos.

    Hi Murray really enjoyed the series of short films from Harris it brought back fantastic memories for us as we stayed for 2 weeks which incorporated a trip out to St Kilda.
    Well done for the pink shorts 😮.
    Thanks for sharing your adventures we appreciate them . Here's wishing you and your family a Happy New Year for 2025 . Regards Chris &June 😊

    Love your content Murray.
    We had the pleasure of a dinner at the uig sands restaurant in the perfect summer sunset conditions. People paddle boarding and eagles soaring ....I think I could travel the rest of my life to every corner of the globe and struggle to find another place or equal beauty.
    Lewis and Harris is the kind of place that could bring a tear to your eye when you realise the beauty on your own doorstep.
    Another great video. Cheers Murray

    Simply breathtaking Murray. Thanks for the heads up on Horgabost Beach for wild swimming - I've pencilled it in for our visit next summer. What a holiday you had. It's all about making memories and you must have made enough to last a lifetime on that wonderful island.

  • @MsGilmo
    @MsGilmo 26 дней назад +1

    You talk about taking a dook. In Oslo f.ex. they would say: taking a "dukkert". One of many words in norwegian you in GB use today. I've heard british youtubers use the words: sti, beck, fell and tarn. In norwegian:sti, bekk, fjell and tjern. Anyway I liked these videos with photography as a part of them.

As I've no driving licence or car it'll have to be a " Rabbies " trip after another Caledonian Sleeper journey - which since I had to give up my licence I am a fan of .I too don't like large groups but will cope with some mimibus companions to see this scenery for myself !!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

    • @ScotlandsMountains

      You won’t be disappointed- Harris is amazing and taking the Rabbies takes some of the stress away of the driving and travelling for sure - hope you get some nice weather when you go Sue
