The Butt of Lewis
The northern-most point of the Outer Hebrides is a lighthouse at the north tip of the Isle of Lewis. We were there on a relatively calm day - though the only sound on the video is the never-ending wind - but it must be quite dramatic when a gale is blowing and the wild Atlantic smashes against the jagged cliffs.
For afficionados of the British Shipping Forecast, the Butt of Lewis is regularly mentioned, so now you can picture it.
The film begins at the junction where you turn left for the lighthouse and then drives over the relatively flat and featureless north of Lewis until we reach the lighthouse. There we view the cliffs down to the sea and the abundant bird life.
The film ends with a sweep along the eastern horizon, where the mountains of mainland Scotland crowd along the shore. In the final shot the far distant Orkneys can be seen.
On the way to the Butt of Lewis
Windy, rainy, cold and generally pretty miserable but worth it in the end. I always though Lewis' butt was windy...

Gerrannan Blachouse village -Isle of Lewis - Scotland
The buildings were generally built with double wall dry-stone walls packed with earth and wooden rafters covered with a thatch of turf with cereal straw or reed. The floor was generally flagstones or packed earth and there was a central hearth for the fire. There was no chimney for the smoke to escape through. Instead the smoke made its way through the roof.
The blackhouse was used to accommodate livestock as well as people. People lived at one end and the animals lived at the other with a partition between them. Although this is now a museum you can also stay in the Blackhouse's as they are now self catering houses.
The Butt of Lewis
Wikipedia: The Butt of Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Rubha Robhanais) is the most northerly point of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The headland, which lies in the North Atlantic, is frequently battered by heavy swells and storms and is marked by the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse.

R U Zom-Safe: Isle of Lewis
Craig and Jay from You've Got Dead on You assess the survival potential of the Isle of Lewis in a zombie apocalypse. How will this small island off the coast of Scotland deal with the undead?
The Isle of Lewis
The Isle of Lewis has a very different feel to the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.
In this landscape photography vlog, I visit the Butt of Lewis, where I enjoy a bit of cliff top photography using panoramas and long exposure techniques to create images which show this wild and windy stretch of coastline in all its glory.

Lewis is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides. The total area of Lewis is 683 square miles. As both parts of the island are frequently referred to as if they were separate islands, Lewis is known as the Isle of Lewis.
Lewis is, in general, the lower-lying part of the island: the other part, Harris, is more mountainous. Due to its flatter, more fertile land, Lewis contains three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles, and the largest settlement, Stornoway. The island's diverse habitats are home to an assortment of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, red deer and seal, and are recognised in a number of conservation areas.
Lewis has a Presbyterian tradition and a rich history. It was once part of the Norse Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland, with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.
The Isle of Lewis has a variety of locations of historical and archaeological interest, including:
Callanish Stones
Dun Carloway Broch
Iron Age houses near Bostadh (Great Bernera)
The Garenin blackhouse village in Carloway and the Black House at Arnol
Bragar whale bone arch
St Columba's church in Aignish
Teampull Mholuaidh in Ness
Clach an Truiseil monolith
Clach Na Thursa, Carloway
Bonnie Prince Charlie's Monument, Arnish
Lews Castle
Butt of Lewis cliffs and Butt of Lewis Lighthouse
Dùn Èistean, a small island which is the ancestral home of the Lewis Morrisons
Ui Church, burial place of the Clan Chiefs MacLeod of Lewis and MacKenzie
There are also numerous lesser stone circles and the remains of five further brochs.
The coastline is severely indented, creating a number of large sea lochs, such as Lochs Resort and Seaforth, which form part of the border with Harris, Loch Roag, which surrounds the island of Great Bernera, and Loch Erisort. The principal capes are the Butt of Lewis, in the extreme north, with hundred foot (30 m) cliffs (the high point is 142 ft (43 m) high) and crowned with a lighthouse, the light of which is visible for 19 miles (31 km); Tolsta Head, Tiumpan Head and Cabag Head, on the east; Renish Point, in the extreme south; and, on the west, Toe Head and Gallon Head. The largest island associated with Lewis is Bernera or Great Bernera in the district of Uig and is linked to the mainland of Lewis by a bridge opened in 1953.
A daily Caledonian MacBrayne ferry (MV Loch Seaforth) sails from Stornoway to Ullapool on the Scottish mainland, taking 2 hours 30 minutes connecting Lewis with the mainland. Lewis has a linguistic heritage rooted in Scottish Gaelic and Old Norse, which both continue to influence life in Lewis.

SHOCKED by Scotland (it's beautiful!) | Best things to do in Lewis and Harris Island
In this vlog we tour Scotland with Rabbies to the isle of Lewis and Harris, a beautiful island, and find the best things to do ⬇ More Below
We're spending the next few days exploring Scotlands largest island and trying to find the best things to do in Lewis and Harris. We took a tour in England with Rabbies last year also and loved it. So we're back to check out a new country all together. Watch last years series here —
Safe to say that Scotland has completely blown us away - the Isle of Lewis and Harris is stunning! It's a shame more people don't get out to Lewis and Harris when they travel to Scotland though and focus on Isle of Skye instead.
This is our first time in Scotland so all we had to go by was the experience of friends, we'd been told it was going to shock us in the best way possible. They were right. The beaches in Lewis and Harris would probably be considered the best thing to do in our book, not only are they covered in white sand, long and beautiful but they remind us a lot of New Zealand.
Hope this helps if you're planning a trip to Scotland or wanted to specifically know what some of the best things to do in Lewis and Harris.
This is the tour around Lewis and Harris we took, there's plenty of other Rabies Tours also —
