Harris

Harris and Lewis are practically separate islands, but there are joined by a narrow section of land. The two are quite different as you'll see in these photos.

Here we are headed south toward Harris and you can see the landscape changing from generally flat (Lewis) to mountainous.


This mountain (below) is the highest point on Lewis/Harris. I can tell you what it is called, but no idea of spelling so look away if you are from Lewis.

Ok, the rest of you (keep your voice down) its called the Cleesha...yikes, no where near right, but let's go back to the others and just keep it to ourselves.


Being an island...lots of beaches and today they were beautiful beyond words, so let me stop talking.


Color isn't showing. Imagine green/blue of tropical islands. That's it.


And a bit more of the scenery as we went along.







Harris is where Harris Tweed originated and today must be made here to bear the label. And they are making high fashion these days. Look it up sometime, if you're interested!

  1. I never tire of Harris scenery (but don't tell the Harris folk that - they'll be thinking they're better that Lewis!)
