Walk Created to View Eilean Glas Lighthouse & Beautiful Scenery
21 February 2012
The Isle of Scalpay is located to the east of Tarbert, Isle of
Harris and is accessed by a single span bridge. Scalpay has one of
the earliest lighthouses in Scotland - come and enjoy a walk across
the moorland to see it, taking in the views of the scenic coast
and looking out for marine life along the way. The island
has previously relied on fishing for its existence and there is
still an active fleet of small boats there. Please pick up the
route information from the new Scalpay Community Shop
Café which is due to open in early April 2012.
Come and walk to Eilean Glas Lighthouse, see 'Bonnie Prince
Charlie's cave' and call in for refreshments. This general store
will be open Mondays to Saturdays. Scalpay has a unique, warm and
welcoming, timeless atmosphere, so please come and share it with
us!
For further information about the Eilean Glas Lighthouse and the
Scalpay shop, please have a look at these websites:
