I’ve long wanted to go to Eilean Glas lighthouse on the island of Scalpay but it’s a fairly long walk from the nearest road so I was delighted when our boat trip to the Shiants called in there. As we approached we could barely see the lighthouse through the sea fog but once we landed the sun came out enabling this shot. You can still see the fog hanging over the sea in the distance.
