Unfortunately Harris is quite far away from Denmark... On the other hand, I once made all the way to Skye, and the car and I survived... So maybe one day... I'll show the pictures to OH tonight...

Hi/hej, sorry for highjacking the forum just for a moment, I want to say welcome on the forum to mapletree, og hilsner til din danske OH!

Although I have a very nice camping holiday "at home" in Denmark this year, i already have withdrawal symptoms... I need to go to GB again next year... Maybe I can convince my OH that we should go to Scotland, take the ferry to Harris (he loves ferries and islands!)... I'll try not to mention the midges...

Briliant photos Loved the remoteness, the beaches look stunning

Thought about and planned a whole trip last year Oban to Barra, Barra to South Uist and up through North Uist then to Harris and Lewis and back to mainland at Ullapool - copped out of it at last minute because of the bad weather last summer - then wished we hadn't as the Western Isles were the only place to have sunshine last June!

Planning for next year to South of France (1500 miles one way if we don't take the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam) but having looked at your photos versus the what looks like hi di hi conglomerate of campsites and the thought of OH in Speedos makes the Western Isles look a promising thought again

Or mabye it will be Austria

Colleague who lives on Lewis did say that the best time to visit is in May and June for good weather. But it could be 4 seasons in one day

No need to tempt me I have been to Harris many times , is that Horgabost campsite, if so I have stayed there many times, I have also been fortunate enough to stay at Amhuinnsuidhe castle too whilst salmon fishing. I didn't pay though as my mate won a weekend there, through Trout and salmon.

Haven't been for a few years now but you have inspired me to get back up there sometime though.
