If you are lucky enough to arrive here when the machair is in full bloom and the gannets are diving into Caolas an Scarp with the beautiful clean sands to the north, you might be excused for just wanting to lie amongst the flowers in a sea of colour soaking up the sun. Don’t, what lies ahead is too good to miss!
