A photographic view of Harris

As you drive west from Tarbert (An Tairbeart) through the 3 billion year old rocky lunar landscape with its ragged coastline and dour peaty colour, you may wonder why this island is so loved, but as you reach the final rise of a 10 mile journey from the east and just before the road winds down, there laid out before you is this view. This is what brings you back; the contrast between east and west, the purity of light, a kaleidoscope of colour, a taste of this magical place.
