Isle Of Harris | Best Beach In Scotland
During our visit to the Isle of Lewis, we took a day trip down to the Isle of Harris (Na Hearadh).
You may know Harris for its tweed but Tarbert is home to the Harris Gin distillery which we visited. It was such a nice place complete with a gift shop and cafe.
We also took a drive to what is, in our opinions, one of the best beaches in Scotland, on the West Coast of Harris, Luskentyre beach.
Luskentyre is one of those must-visit beaches that everyone should see during their lifetime.
The one you see doing the rounds on Facebook because people can't believe (or want to brag) that it's in Scotland.
Golden sands, with crystal clear waters but with the dramatic Scottish landscape in the background. It really is a sight to see when visiting the Outer Hebrides.
Harris and Lewis are completely contrasting lslands with Lewis being quite flat and Harris being much more rugged.
We hope you enjoy this as we are away to Croatia at the weekend, so will be filming the entire trip for you all to enjoy.
PS: Enjoy the screaming lamb.

Delivering soap to the Isle of Harris
My friend Cathy and I have a delivery for the Hebridean Soap Company to the Harris Tweed Shop in Tarbert. Sounds like an excuse to buy Harris Gin and have lunch at the Skoon Art Cafe to us!

Two fatbikes, probably the first fatbikes, ride the Postman's trail. If only they had fatbikes back then I'm sure the postman would have a extra grin factor on his face. Yes I think he would have to hike a bike for some of his route but BUT on the down hills he would rip.

Lewis
Lewis is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The total area of Lewis is 683 square miles.
Lewis is, in general, the lower lying part of the island, with the other part, Harris, being more mountainous. The flatter, more fertile land means Lewis contains the largest settlement, Stornoway, and three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles. Beyond human habitation, the island's diverse habitats are home to an assortment of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, red deer and seals and are recognised in a number of conservation areas.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The production of renewable energy in Scotland is an issue that has come to the fore in technical, economic, and political terms during the opening years of the 21st century. The natural resource base for renewable energy is extraordinary by European, and even global standards, with the most important potential sources being wind, wave, and tide.
In 2015, Scotland generated 59% of its electricity consumption through renewable sources, exceeding the country's lofty goal of 50% renewable energy by 2015. Moving forward, the Scottish Government's energy plan calls for 100% of electricity consumption to be generated through renewable sources by 2020, and 50% of total energy consumption (including transportation) by 2030.At the start of 2016, Scotland had 8,055 megawatts (MW) of installed renewable electricity capacity. Renewable electricity generation in Scotland was 21,983 GWh in 2015, up 15.2% on 2014. Scottish renewable generation makes up approximately 26.4% of total UK renewable generation (down from 32% in 2014). In 2014, Scotland exported over 24 per cent of generation.Continuing improvements in engineering and economics are enabling more of the renewable resources to be utilised. Fears regarding peak oil and climate change have driven the subject high up the political agenda and are also encouraging the use of various biofuels. Although the finances of many projects remain either speculative or dependent on market incentives, it is probable that there has been a significant, and in all likelihood long-term change, in the underpinning economics.In addition to planned increases in large-scale generating capacity and microsystems using renewable sources, various related schemes to reduce carbon emissions are being researched. Although there is significant support from the public, private and community-led sectors, concerns about the effect of the technologies on the natural environment have been expressed. There is also an emerging political debate about the relationship between the siting, and the ownership and control of these widely distributed resources.
