Why?
Peace and quiet in a beautifully remote setting
Like many people during the lockdowns, we became interested in touring Scotland’s more remote regions and, once we were free to explore at our leisure, a trip to the Western Isles was on the cards. Visiting in August 2022, our itinerary took us from Barra, north to Lewis and then home via Skye.
We set off from Hampshire and, on our first day, drove all the way to the Borders, stopping just before Gretna Green.
Next day, we enjoyed a very leisurely drive to Oban, where we stayed at Oban Camping and Caravanning Club Site. We made a detour on the way, following the B8074 along Glen Orchy. This is not only a most beautiful route, but also good practice for negotiating the single-track roads that are to be found throughout
