A few weeks off & fortunate to be able to head to Inverewe and across to South Uist for our first visit to the Outer Hebrides. Here are a couple of images from the latter to kick off with. Uist Sunset | The High Road @isleofsouthuist @UistArts #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni Late sun and mist, taken from The Shieling By The Bay on South Uist. A great place to stay. @HebridesHoliday @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday Continuing South Uist images with a sort of before and after. A ruin near to the place we stayed, which is in the last image and gives an idea of what these crofts looked like. @HebridesHoliday @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHennin i

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday And onto some wildlife. We're sure that almost every visitor must take photos of the ponies, but here you go anyway. #EriskayPonies @EachNanEilean @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean Wildlife continued and another photo favourite when touring Scotland. Again, who cares, here you go. #HeilanCows #HighlandCattle @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean We had a fine walk on Eriskay, with passing sunshine and some heavy rain passing over Barra in the distance (1). @BarraIsland @EachNanEilean @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland More images from our September walk on Eriskay (2). A wonderful place to visit. Next time, must get to Barra too. @BarraIsland @EachNanEilean @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland Some more wildlife. We now know that Seals can sleeps upright, floating in the water. Also pleasing to see so many Starlings, which we see far fewer of in the City these days. @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland Sheep. We can identify sheep safely. And we think the ones with the shaggy fur and flatter curved horns are Valais Blacknose Sheep. @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland Simple architecture for this South Uist church, catching the sunlight. @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland The landscape of The Uists (& Benbecula). Close proximity to water everywhere and mostly very flat, with incredible beaches. There are many small causeways as well, in this case leading towards the ruined croft we showed earlier @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland Back to this thread with some images that try to capture the rocky nature of the islands and how the rock underpins the land in many areas. @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni

@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday @EachNanEilean @BarraIsland [Colour photo alert - be careful] And there's a lot of seaweed. We didn't go to Stinky Bay on Benbecula, but we certainly had the stinky experience a couple of times where it had been dumped on the shore. @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist #Seaweed #Benbecula | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni
