I last visited Scottish inhabited Islands in 2018 so it was a real pleasure today to complete the last 2 islands in the Outer Hebrides since my visit there many years ago. This is Flodaigh on Benbecula and it's a very small island with only very few inhabitants but easily reached by causeway.
Flodaigh and many variations on how to spell it but this is from the OS map.
Parked up and on our way to Seal Point but there was only 1 Seal and it dived as soon as I took my camera out of its case.
This is the lovely beach at Baleshare Island on North Uist
Next to the beach is the Machair and it is ploughed ready for planting potatoes by the Crofters who share the work.
On Flodaigh John was thinking of buying a car but decided to give this one the Thumbs Down.

A thatched holiday cottage. We met the occupants who have rented it for 2 weeks every year for 20 years.
This inlet on Flodaigh is quite a distance from the open sea
