This is a view of a remote part of Lewis - Loch Hamnaway. It is located on the west coast, some 8 miles south of Carnish (in a direct line) and 3 miles southeast of Brenish in Uig. The distance from Stornoway is about 40 miles to the southwest. If you want to get there, you face an 8 mile trek along a very rough track (shown in the image above), or possibly a cross-country foray for the same distance from Morsgail. By sea, it is a "simple" 4 mile sail from Huisinish in Harris.
This indented coastline, with its long sealochs, account for the fact that if you want to drive from Huisinish in Harris to Brenish in Uig you are facing a 78 mile journey; by water, it is only 9 miles.
Oh, as it said in the title, this is the view as generated through Google Earth. I've not (yet) been here myself. Maybe one day...
It looks quite barren and uninhabited. Google earth is amazing.

ReplyDeleteHi Guido - stopping by to say Hello. The view from Goodle earth looks like something one would see in a science fiction movie. If you opt on making the trek I hope you have comfortable hiking shoes ;)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Google Earth but haven't thought of exploring the site myself. This makes me all the more curious. (Hugs)Indigo
