The coastal cliff walk is a classic , including getting attacked by bonxies .


I've got to get up to Orkney. The sooner the better.
I'm looking forward to skateboarding into the Tomb of the Eagles.


Looking at your photos i'm surprised you didn't hop over when you was up at Camster and Stemster, you maybe felt that trip should have took you even further, as Orkney is mind blowing, i was at the ring of brodgar during an annular eclipse once, amazing time and place, you have a lot to look forward to, i agree with thesweetcheat when your up there you realise there was no top and bottom back then because stenness and brodgar are a complex only inferior to avebury, thornborough in the middle of the countries huge as well, but there's just something magical about somewhere so special been right up there.


I would have loved to have gone during that trip but I simply didn't have the time. I've seen a fair bit of mainland Scotland and been over to Skye, Outer Hebrides but Orkney is next.

I would like to go back to Callanish too, so may plan a 'big trip'.


I loved callanish, i sat there for 3 days and could have stayed longer, every time for the rest of the trip i'd visit something else and then just go back, a bit like i was on an elastic band [visit somewhere then back to callanish and so on and so on], but lewis isn't as pretty an island as harris though is it and uist [especially north uist] is just downright otherworldly don't you think, and when i said otherworldly i didn't mean the people, although anywhere where they shut the kids parks on a sunday must have it's fare share of freaks, 5 church services a day and people thing the muslims are only like that, they spend that much of the day preying you wonder what they've done wrong!
