Tràigh Iar (West Beach)

Tràigh Iar is one of many gems amongst Outer Hebridean beaches.  Its white unspoilt sands run the entire length of the Island of Berneray and is such a rewarding and inspiring walk.  In the distance lie the magnificent hills of South Harris.  Berneray lies between Harris and North Uist, to which it is now linked by a causeway.  Prince Charles once stayed here and lodged with Mr McKillop, a local crofter.  He planted potatoes and enjoed crofting life in a Hebridean holiday.  This was during his bachelor days.  Walking on this often deserted beach on the West side of the Island is very calming.
