While exploring the islands of the Scottish Outer Hebrides we often took remote roads away from the routes travelled by other visitors. And we were rewarded time and again by such stunning scenery and unique experiences.
That morning, the weather looked less than promising, but we decided to risk it and drive out over the single-track road across the peninsula of Lochportain to the far north-east of the Isle of North Uist.
As we returned from the tiny hamlets of Hoebeg and Cheesebay at the far end of the road, we passed Loch an t-Sagairt lit by the sunlight but with a backdrop of threatening, dark clouds on the horizon. Believe it or not, it didn’t rain.
I was struck by the sheep grazing peacefully on the hillside and how the old fence line led the eye into the image.
For me, there is something special about the Hebridean islands and this scene depicts the ever-present contrasts between darkness and light.
