And so, after an enjoyable visit to Lewis and Harris in the outer Hebrides, it was time to say “farewell” and return to the Scottish mainland. We embarked on the ferry at around mid-day and settled in for the trip back to Ullapool.
Once in Ullapool, we headed back to the Morefield Hotel to enquire if the owner would allow us to park up overnight again, only to discover that the hotel is closed on Wednesday's due to a lack of staff. A situation that seems quite common and is caused by the lack of itinerant Europeans who are staying away from the UK due to Covid-19 restrictions. However, the owner was happy for us to park overnight and even allowed us the use of the toilet facilities, which was very good of him.
