After years of dithering, I am in the middle of cycling the #Hebrides Way from #Barra to #Lewis, the purple line on the map. As much as the islands are fascinating I am v disappointed by the level of fast road traffic. This is especially true now that I have reached #Harris. On the mainland I would strenuously avoid such roads. Some sections have been truly lovely, especially Barra, #Eriskay & the s parts of S Uist, but as a package I would hesitate to recommend the route. #cycling #biketoot

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
We take the ferry to the enchanting island of Eriskay. This is the view north that greets us, of Coilleag a'Phrionnsa or the Prince's Beach, where Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed in 1745. The island is also known as final resting place of the SS Politician and its cargo of whisky in 1941. More pics and info https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/eriskay/eriskay/index.html

December 21 Wikipedia featured article: SS Politician

During #WorldWar2 the ship participated in the Atlantic convoys between the #UK and the #US. She grounded while attempting to rendezvous with a convoy to the north of #Scotland. No one was badly injured or killed in the accident.

There is a fleeting glimpse of the pub/restaurant Am Politician in the video.
So named as Eriskay is the island that the SS Politician ran aground on in 1941, with its precious cargo of whisky. This real event led to the fictionalised account in the famous book and film Whisky Galore (1949). The book is a great read and the film is very entertaining
