    🏴 Key Highlights of Your Outer Hebrides Road Trip:
    Isle of Lewis - Start your adventure in Stornoway, the heart of Lewis. Visit the Callanish Standing Stones, ancient monoliths that predate Stonehenge. Don't miss the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse for panoramic sea views and seabird sightings.
    Harris - Drive south to the Isle of Harris, famous for its Luskentyre Beach, voted one of the best beaches in the world! Explore the rugged landscapes of Hushinish Beach and soak in the tranquility of Seilebost Beach. Capture the sunset at Scarista Beach for a truly magical experience.
    North Uist - Discover the birdwatcher's paradise with a visit to the Balranald Nature Reserve. Explore the Trinity Temple Ruins and relax at the serene Baleshare Beach.
    Benbecula - Ideal for a quick pitstop! Stretch your legs with a scenic walk around the Culla Bay or explore the history of Nunton Steadings.
    South Uist - Home to some of the Hebrides' most stunning scenery. Drive through the wild landscapes and make a stop at Loch Druidibeg Nature Reserve. Visit the hauntingly beautiful Kildonan Museum for a glimpse into island life.
    Eriskay - This picturesque island is a gem for photographers. Don't forget to stop by the Prince’s Beach, where Bonnie Prince Charlie first set foot in Scotland.
    Barra - End your road trip on the charming Isle of Barra, famous for its unique beach airport at Traigh Mhòr. Hike up to Kisimul Castle or relax at Tangasdale Beach to complete your Outer Hebrides adventure.
    🛣️ Road Trip Tips for Campervan Users:
    Best time to visit: April to September for mild weather and longer daylight.
    Plan your route in advance, as some areas have narrow single-track roads.
    Stock up on essentials in Stornoway or Balivanich, as shops are scarce in remote areas.
    Respect local wildlife and leave no trace to help preserve this unique landscape.

    It is the wonderful place you describe. We did Oban to Barra and then travelled hopping the islands all the way to North Lewis and then back to Ullapool. 2011 I think with our motorhome. Fondly remember that trip. Well done Robbie ❤

    Well done Robbie, excellent film. Best beaches on the planet, especially Bosta on Great Bernera, where you had an overnight stay, just a few miles from my father's family home in Crulivig. Just a wee hint, the correct way to pronounce Gaelic in Scotland is Ga-lic. In Ireland it is pronounced Gay-lic. Your Outer Hebrides book is on order, looking forward to it.

    Hi Robbie, just bought this guide book. It has jumped UK borders to Germany. Quick question. At 2:17, I think you accidentally may have labeled the beach incorrectly. Is this really Traigh Mhor or somewhere else, if so, where? ua-cam.com/video/ODEmxzdQI9s/v-deo.html
    Many thanks

    • @robbieroams

      Yes this is Traigh Mhor on the Isle of Lewis, there are multiple Traigh Mhor’s in the Outer Hebrides (it means big beach).

    Some of your video is ok. Some of it is way overcooked. Over-saturated? I don't know quite what you have done to it but you have certainly made it worse. Unfortunate, because other than the photography, it is quite a decent video. In parts, the colours look nothing like the islands. I know, because I live there.
