A trip to Scalpay

This past Saturday we took a trip to a little island off the coast of the Isle of Harris (which is actually south of Lewis...and attached...like completely attached, see the map if you don't believe me!).  If you're observant & have your glasses on, you'll be able to see Scalpay off the southeast coast.

Anyway, we were shown around by someone who was born and brought up there, and it was lovely!  There are fishing ports all over the place, and more houses than I thought there'd be.  Apparently it used to be a thriving fishing community and was visited by fishing boats from all over.

In addition to the exceptional tour, we also were invited into a local home for tea!  Let me tell you, that was a good tea spread.

It was a dreary day, but I did manage to get a few pictures!
