Eight days of machair, single-track, and ferries that still run to a printed timetable.

Callum is from here. The week is not a greatest-hits of the Hebrides. We stay on Harris, take one ferry to a small isle, and spend a day doing very little because the weather asked us to. Evenings are in a house that looks at the Sound of Taransay. The beaches are famous. We go early or not at all.
The days
Ferry from Uig or Skye. Settle. First walk to the harbour in whatever light is left.
Luskentyre if the tide and the coaches allow; otherwise Seilebost and a flask.
A modest ridge with a large view. Optional short day for anyone who prefers the shore.
North for black pudding, a bookshop, and the museum if it is open.
A day ferry. Packed lunch. Back for a late supper.
Held in the plan on purpose. Walking, reading, or a distillery depending on the sky.
The quieter side. Otters if we are lucky. We are often not. Still worth it.
Ferry off. We do not rush the morning.
Included
Not included

Along the way
Before you pack
May midges exist. September less so.
A midge net is not glamorous. Bring one.
Ferries cancel. The itinerary has slack for that.
