Eriskay

This unspoilt scene was taken on the Isle of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides. Not far from this point in 1941 the SS Politician ran aground on rocks while containing thousands of cases of malt whisky. Unfortunately there wasn't Whisky Galore when I was there! I was on my way north travelling from the southernmost inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides, Vatersay, all the way up to the Butt of Lewis along the whole length of the Outer Hebrides. However, I couldn't resist stopping on Eriskay so I could climb to the highest point on the island and then walk across the unspoilt terrain down to the sea at the beautiful location where this picture was taken. You can read about the walk here.
