Before we get on the ferry to make our way make to the mainland we make a couple of stops. First we stop at Dun Carloway Broch. Whats a Broch you ask? Brochs are among Scotland's most impressive prehistoric buildings. These stone round date from about 2,300 to 1,900 years ago, and are found mainly in north and west Scotland.
We now head to the capital of Lewis of Stornoway to check out the harbour before catching our ferry to Ulapool.
Fun Fact: The harbour is the reason for Stornoway's existence and was named by the visiting Vikings "Steering Bay" which, when phonetically translated, became the name Stornoway.
A relaxing ferry ride and a long drive we make our way to the Great Glen Hostel, surrounded by mountains.
