Farewell to the Hebrides

Three days a week the ferry goes from Lochboisdale to Oban. We were impressed to be welcomed by name at the terminal as we joined the queue. There I talked to a couple from Holland who had cycled there via Shetland, Orkney, mainland and Hebrides. One gets a better standard of tourist in these parts.

Lochboisdale is no size but it is the biggest settlement on South Uist.

After those cold N.E. winds this was different weather with no wind. It was warm enough to stay on the open top beck for the five hour voyage to Oban.
