HEBRIDES 2009 - PHOTOS

Neil's 1911 completed taking part in the Flying Scotsman Endurance Rally from London to Edinburgh, 650 miles in 2 1/2 days.  The journey continued to the Outer Hebrides via Arran, Oban, Barra, Uists, Harris & Lewis to Stornaway where Neil delivered some restored Model T Ford lamps to a customer!  The return journey was via Skye and Mull.  2500 miles in total!

Horse power comes in various forms.  These are the very rare Erriskay ponies.

Even the best can break down..........

..........some people have all the luck - a fully staffed workshop of Hebridian coaches.

A photo opportunity not to be missed on South Uist

South Uist is 50% locks and waterways with one main road through it

The roofs are thatched with heather and the stones hold the roof in place

Across the causeway to Benbecula

Some cars need extra protection during a ferry crossing to North Uist

The Lunar landscape of Harris has been used in many films

And on through the locks of Lewis
