sunset on taransay

Taransay is a small island off the west coast of south Harris. It was one of several remote islands we recently visited on a 2wk sailing voyage round the Hebrides on my friend Eddie's yacht Boomerang. It came to prominence as the location for the BBC's 'Castaway 2000' series. It is a wonderful, peaceful spot with ruined sheilings, forgotten lazy-beds and wild deer. There was a large whale bone washed up on the beach when we were there and the only footprints in the sand were from an otter. However the midgies were terrible!
