As I enjoyed myself on Harris and Lewis earlier, I wanted to go to the other Islands. I have read about Berneray and Barra. When I figured out that you can actually go on Barra by plane from Glasgow International, I thought I could save some time for traveling. Then I found that Barra airport is actually a beach, planes land only at low tide... So I planned my trip and booked a flight.
I'm going to take that plane...

Be careful!
Plane leaves for Benbecula (Uist)
Barra is a small island, you can walk around easily. I spent the first two nights in a B&B near the sea.
Castlebay is the main village on Barra. Name probably comes from the fact there is a small castle in the bay, clan McNeil's castle.
You can also come to Castlebay with the ferry from Oban (5 hour journey)
And pictures from Sunday's walk, something like 16 miles.
This is actually the airport, no plane on Sundays, it's safe.
Then it started to rain, a proper Scottish rain for eight hours...
