This is taken on Scarista beach on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

Harris is the southern part of the largest of the islands; the north of it is Lewis (home of the Callanish standing stones).

It is very lovely.

This is the wider version of the above view of Scarista beach.

It was astonishingly beautiful, and unbelievably empty.

@eclectech Was it warm or cold when you were there?

eclectech,

@greenpete Yes, both! 😆

We were there in summer, and were very lucky on the whole. Most of it was dry & sunny & times where it was warm enough to go in the water, but there are still a lot of photos of us in jackets, even in the sunshine.

@eclectech It looks so tropical, but it's Scotland, so I guess the images may convey greater heat than there actually was.

@greenpete Heh, aye. It was certainly warm enough for us a lot of the time, but we're very acclimatized to Scotland, prefer a cool breeze!

I may as well make it a Scarista trio for #silentSunday with a little reminder that as the weather can be variable in Scotland, it serves you well to keep an eye on the distant sky even if you're in the sun ⛅

@eclectech Just as nice as Luskentyre but quieter!

@rodti I was genuinely astounded at quite how quiet it was there. Luskentyre is lovely too though, even with the occasional other person! That whole bit of coast really. Just lovely.

@eclectech Did you go to the chapel at Rodel?

eclectech,
@eclectech@things.uk avatar

@rodti We didn't, although having just searched it up I'm slightly disappointed we didn't. It looks very pretty.

notmoro,

@eclectech You know, I've been in this country for something like 8 or 9 years now, and I need to GO to these places

@notmoro You do! Have you visited Scotland at all? I think you would like it.

abu,

@eclectech What a great picture!

@abu Thank you 😊

evilstevie,

@eclectech Mediterranean colours always surprise me in Scotland for some reason :)

@evilstevie You're definitely not alone there, and to be fair they are probably slightly less reliable in Scotland!
