Harris

Our next ferry ride took us away from the Uists to the next island Harris. Harris is spectacular. It is rocky, mountainous, boggy, rugged, misty and has the most amazing winding road which follows the east coast called the Golden Road (named so as it apparently was very expensive to build).

Views from The Golden Road

Our first stop was St Clement’s Church in Ròghadal, a 12th Century church which contains 3 wall tombs, all intricately carved.
We took the circular route around Harris which included the Golden Road and stayed the night at Scarista House on the western side, where we enjoyed an evening of fine food and wine. It would have been nice to spend longer on Harris and do some walking – maybe next time!!
