Island 16 -Vatersay, 3rd July 2014

 On Vatersay,  looking at breakers in the sea.

Looking down to the Vatersay causeway

Vatersay is the southern-most inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides. It is attached to Barra by a causeway. This was built, so the story goes, after a prize bull, called Bernie, drowned while swimming the short channel in 1986.

Rain and wind made photography difficult

I cycled there from Castlebay on Barra. It is just about 2 miles but the weather conditions were pretty severe. I decided that it wouldn't be wise to explore very far as the visibility was poor and I was without my intrepid support team. It would be a wonderful place to explore on bike in better weather conditions.  Memo to self: come back here for a couple of weeks next year and have a play along all the Outer Hebrides.
