I have stayed at the hostel at kinlochleven when cycling the WHW last year, and years ago stayed in Ullapool a couple of nights in a very nice B&B, I like Ullapool with its palm trees.. will look into it.. cheers

P.S    I also fancy Lewis as I have never been

I will probably be at Blair Atholl in august, Might try Invermoulin for a trial run or maybe Cobleland at Aberfoyle as I have been there before and like to swim in the river, I find Faskally a bit sqaushed in, and they seem to get a lot of real drinkers who make a right racket returning to their tents from the pub.

a few years ago we were at Glenmore and it was thoroughly miserable damp and misty for days, pity because the wee beach at Loch Morlich is great

Teeny, If it is just campsites on Beaches your after then Harris (£4 per night) or Barra (£0 per night) are to died and gone to heaven type campsites.

All above Uig in Harris.

Teeny, We started at the Butt of Lewis and spent almost a month travelling down to Barra. (120 miles).

However we had been to Lewis many times before and so only Harris and the Uists and Barra were new to us.

If we were going back again to any of the places, it would be to BARRA.

It really is the only unspoiled area of the whole shebang and yet the complete road length is only 15 miles.

Reading about the Western Isles of the last 20 years and Barra is that. But it will not be for long and if you want to walk on unpoluted beaches, see scenery at its best and taste Island Hospitality that you will never forget, then visit Barra in the next 2 years or forget about it for ever.

Barra is not a destination. It is a dying experience and once it has gone it will be gone forever.
