HILLS OF HOME, LUSKENTYRE, ISLE OF HARRIS

“When I learned that such big bays of blue-green water existed, I knew I had to see them for myself. I soon discovered the shallow azure seas around Luskentyre, clear and gentle upon bright sands, speaking of tropical climes. But low light and heartbeatshort days reaffirm the realities of this northerly climate. Gulf-streamed currents ensure mostly mild winters but the heights of the Clisham range are often found frosted in snow.”
