A day in Scalpay

Out the door early to see the first lighthouse in the Outer Hebrides. We are on the Isle of Harris (home of the tweed). 

We crossed over to a little island called Scalpay. 

The hike out and back to the lighthouse was about 4 km. 

The weather changed from clouds and cool wind to rain to warm sun in an instant. Layers--on, off, on....

We had the BEST dinner on Scalpay, in a little gourmat restaurant. You walk through the little grocery store to enter. The cracked crab...wow.

We ended the day back at the west harbor here on Harris, where the whaling ships came in, many years ago.

Eighteen hours of daylight...
