Kellie and myself went on a boat trip with Hebridean Sea Tour's onboard 'The Spirit of The Hebrides' going from Barra to Mingulay. We wandered around the old deserted settlements and walked along the beautiful beach before going for a prearranged swim back out to our boat, It was jellyfish dodgems. Thanks to the guys for coming in on the tender for our hiking gear, making the swim a lot easier. Once everyone was back onboard the crew took us round the outside of Mingulay (through the stunning arch) and Pabbay then in between Sandray and Vatersay then back to the marina at Barra.

Kellie and myself went for a hike up the hill (Beinn Scrien) on Eriskay before heading over the moor to check out an old settlement (Roisinis) near to the famous Whisky Galore beach where the SS Politician grounded. We walked and swam between the lush beaches and Calbhaigh, being weary not to go too far out. The water was so clear and easy to spot the odd jellyfish that was around. Once sorted we made our way back to the van by a different route thus seeing more of the amazingly scenic island. Both of us agree that it's a favourite of ours and we'll definitely be back again.
