Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. The Isle of Lewis is a place of mythology, blustery adventure, windburnt cheeks, standing stones and wild wildlife. Children run free on isolated beaches, disturbing the solitary seals with their shrieks, leaving footprints in the sand and feeling the salt on their skin.
Eating crab claws at Sonas Cafe, rock climbing at Port of Ness, paddling amongst emerald green seaweed at Point, fighting the gales at Callanish Stone Circle. Babies become intrepid adventures, hunters and dreamers.
Running barefoot in the grass under whalebone relics of an ancient maritime past and tiptoeing through the Carloway Black Houses; history is at their fingertips and babes return home hungry, sleepy and alive.
Lewis and Harris create magical memories and invigorate the tiny body and mind.

[We had a lovely detached house in Point, Lewis (ten minutes from Stornaway) and on mainland we found a hotel with a family room offering a small ante-room for our toddler to sleep in.]
Scotland is a truly wonderful and surprising land.

Beautiful photos. I love Lewis and Harris, I wild camped and walked there with my dad when I was in my 20’s, so many gorgeous places, although we did prefer the hills and scenery of Harris. An amazing place for children to explore, will have to take them there one day (we live in Scotland, so it’s really not that far to get back!). 🙂 x
I would love more reviews on Scotland if you fancy sending any in. K
