The isle of N. Uist

by WBlackwell on May 14, 2015

Here on the island of Uist the ‘U’ is as the letter is called, ‘you’ whilst we landed in Uig, pronounced ‘ewe ig’. Ullapool, farther north on the coast is ‘Ah’ lallapool.  Go figure.  As I said earlier, I’m sure it is just to mess with foreigners trying to get pronunciation correctly.

The shores of these islands are so different.  Uist seems for the most part to slope to the seaP1030283P1030286

Skye on the other hand is much more defined.P1030289

I should like to investigate Portree the de facto capital of SkyeP1030294P1030293

Bill, I assume the water views, slope off deep from the shore, am I right. How warm is the water
there? It looks like it is really cold.
