It’s somewhat dreich here today (and perhaps hard to say where the mist stops and the volcanish ash starts!) so I’ve been sorting through my photographs of a recent trip to Taransay. This serves as a good reminder of the variability of the weather in the islands and that when it’s fine April is a great time of year for camping, with the added bonus that the midge season has yet to start!
Taransay is best known for the Castaway reality show from the year 2000. However, in the guidebook you’ll find it under its gaelic name of Tarasaigh. In practice there’s no hard and fast rule about the use of Gaelic and English names but in the book we’ve used those of the OS maps to try and help those less familiar with the Outer Hebrides find where they’re going.
The shot below was taken as we returned to Harris, and was in stark contrast to the lively seas and fantastic clapotis we enjoyed the day before going round the SW corner of Taransay.
