Ooh, the photos of Bostadh make me want to go back there RIGHT now! I love that beach! Cheers for this! :)

Thanks Moss, great evocative photos.
Like Goffick my best memory was of Bostadh. Walked there on our first day, the sun shone, it was warm, the sand white and the sea blue. An osprey circled over the cliffs - on the walk back a golden eagle watched us from a ridge before soaring into flight above us. The rest of the week was mostly wet, very windy and cold but I'm grateful and glad to have gone there.

Went there in 1996 for the Hebridean Circuit, a week long series of sheep dog trials. Fantastic landscape with wonderful empty sandy beaches, which, if on the Mainland, would be packed out!
The highlight of course was Callanish. If ever a stone circle can claim to be in a special place in the landscape, this is the one IMO.
We stayed in a B&B about a mile away but I walked down to the circle at 4am to hopefully be there before anyone else to take early morning photos. I wasn't - a professional magazine photographer was already there. Surprisingly though, very few people arrived early. One other thing although it may not be the same today - B&B's were amazingly cheap!
