IXXRA......The Home Of The Superblackbird

The Highlands will be strong on the agenda this summer and the Isles of Harris and Lewis are a must for me on midsummers day standing on Luskintyre beach at sunset It's in me edd now and methinks booking accomodation is a priority just to wet the whistle have a ganders at this.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UZLESV ... ......Some peeps on here will remember a carefree ride around the lochinver peninnsula without helmets and a thought for the outside world, swimming in the sea scaring the fish etc, it looks like it's more of the same on these roads just sublime

Looks "familiar" LOL. Fabulous empty wild roads although, looking at the whole vid the landscape is a bit stark and barren.

Spoiled by the presence of thd Devil's Capsules aka Portapotties! Maybe if you alter the dates the 'crowds' could be avoided?


Personally, I have always had this desire to spend Mid-Summer at Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most western point on the mainland I think and its only as far 'up' as Fort William. Almost, just almost went up about 5 years ago with the idea to meet Wolfie off Bird who was camping up there for Mid-Summer but alas , my plans turned to shite in me 'ands, as they do

Yea stayed there last year Hector who has the pub across the road was trying to sell up so hope he's still there and hasn't shut ( that would be a bummer )

As you say it's a cracking pub and is flexible with closing times
