Ten years ago today I took this photo. It marks the moment I fell in love with the Outer Hebrides.
We stayed on Great Bernera on the Isle of Lewis and B***a was the first beach I stepped foot on. My dog Tali, who was still under a year old, ran the length of the beach on the scent of some rabbits. Now she’s nearly 11 and still loves to run on Hebridean sand with her little webbed feet.
Little did I know how special these islands would become to me. That I would get married here. That I would spend months exploring the shorelines. You never know when you’re going to fall deeply in love with a place, and I’m so grateful that I took that ferry.
I thought I would share this photo because it is so typical of the Outer Hebrides; moody skies, turquoise water and copious amounts of gneiss rock💙💙
