  • Motorhome trip to the Outer Hebrides. In this video we travel through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, the beautiful glen of Glencoe, the epic scenery on the Island of Skye and take the ferry from Uig to Tarbert on the Island of Harris. We tour the island with visits to the Harris Gin Distillery, The Harris Tweed Shop and visit some of the many stunning beaches and in particular, Luskentyre nd Horgabost. We hope you enjoy the video.

      Ah thanks, your comment is very much appreciated. We’re glad you enjoyed the video. In part 3, which should be uploaded some time next week, you will be able to see the tweed being made as we were lucky enough to see two operators demonstrate the process to us. Thanks for watching and keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

    A stunning piece of footage of an amazing place that I was lucky enough to call home twenty years ago for a couple of years before ending up the other side of Glasgow Airport from Renfrew. Those beaches are out of this world and there is an urban myth on the islands that the Thai Tourist Board use shots of that beach in their literature to encourage visitors to Thailand. The first time I saw Luskintyre when the tide was out I had to stop and as I was on my own I had to phone a friend and try and put into words what I was seeing. You certainly got the weather and a perfect crossing though that is always an easier crossing even in inclement weather as you remain within the lee of the land for longer hence a bit more shelter for the passage. I must return someday to catch up with the people I will always call friends.

      Thanks for your comment John. Luskentyre Beach is stunning and it wouldn’t surprise me if other countries use shots of it to attract tourists to their country lol. We were so lucky with the weather too which made the trip truly magical. Thanks for watching. Irvine & Karen.

    Beautiful , stunning , there’s really not much to compare to the Outer Hebrides. Well filmed Irvine and full marks for the dexterity in opening a can of coke with one hand while filming with the other 😂. We were retracing some of our steps watching this , it was joyful. Thanks very much best wishes Helen and Martin.

      Ah thanks guys, your comment means a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video. We watched the videos of your trip to the Outer Hebrides and got a lot of inspiration from them. We’ve been to Barra and the Uists etc many many years ago when we had a caravan but have it on the list to do in the motorhome for sure. I would have loved to have had a nice cold beer with the boys on the beach but the Diet Coke was the next best thing. It’s amazing what you can do with one hand when you’ve got the camera in the other 😂😂😂 Keep safe and happy travels.

      You definitely need to go as it’s absolutely stunning. We were there on a 10 day trip and had the most amazing weather so were very lucky. There are loads of camping spots through the Harris Trust between £5 and £15 per night in the most beautiful of spots. You would love it. Take care guys. Irvine & Karen.

      We have to agree with you Jimmy regarding this campsite but we have also been to many beautiful campsites in Scotland so they’re not all the same. Hope you enjoyed the video though.
