Route
My original planned route was very different to the route I ended up doing. The original plan was to start a few days earlier but I ended up getting tickets for the Indian Summer Festival in Glasgow which was on the Saturday & Sunday that I had intended to start. So in the end, I delayed the start a few days to the Tuesday (giving me ample hangover recovery time) and figured I’d massage the route along the way to fit in what I could.
My original plan was to head north from Skye and over to Harris & Lewis and up to Stornoway before heading back over to the mainland at Ullapool. But after much deliberation and some serious route massaging I ended up going south through the Uists and down to Barra, Vatersay & Tiree, which I think worked out quite nicely!
