Yo! Scottish Urbs!
This summer we fancy a somewhat adventurous holiday - we want to travel by boat, perhaps even land on the beach runway at Barra, go to a Ceilidh, trapse the land looking for a Waterhorse, see Red Deer silouetted against the sea, watch Sea Eagles glide, paddle in clear waters with white sand...
So, a couple of questions that I'd be grateful for help with:
Is CalMac reliability as poor as we've heard on national news? We know the trick never to book the last ferry to anywhere, but is that sufficient?
Midges. Late July/August. Are my kids going to cruy for two weeks?
Is Sunday still closed on bits of the Western Isles?
Any particular hints, tips, experiences, dire warnings?
Cheers, most grateful.
