I positively love Scotland, in large part because of its amazing islands. During previous trips to the Orkney Isles and the Isle of Skye I knew that there was one area I had yet to see - the Outer Hebrides. This trip provided the opportunity to explore both Lewis and Harris while simultaneously re-visiting the Isle of Skye. Luckily, the weather cooperated beautifully. I would love to hear which of these photos are your favorites. You can find the stories behind these photos at virtualwayfarer.com. Thanks for viewing!
