The most beautiful impressions from the Outer Hebrides.
1
Day 1 – Meeting point Stornoway
We meet at the airport in Stornoway (we will gladly give you information on the appropriate flight connections). Here we are welcomed by our Scottish photo guide. The ride in a comfortable van goes directly to our lodge on an idyllic location in Lewis.
Harris and Lewis are not two separate islands. A raw and impassable mountain range separates the southern part (Harris) from the northern part (Lewis). In the past, the easiest way between the two parts of the island was by boat and therefore, two separate cultures were formed.
During your stay in the Outer Hebrides, you stay overnight in a lodge that we rented exclusively for our group.

Day 2 to 6 – Out and about on Harris and Lewis
We will depart every day directly from the lodge to the various photo locations on Harris and Lewis. Depending on the weather we will take photographs 3-4 hours in the early morning for the sunrise and in the evening for the sundown when the light is best. Depending on the weather, you will have an early dinner and then set out in time for the sunset session.
The Outer Hebrides are a dream for anyone who likes to photograph landscapes. There are countless photo opportunities. We will put together the exact day program on site to be able to respond to the respective weather and light conditions. Our photo guide will bring you to the most beautiful photo locations. All our Scottish photo guides know the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides like no one else.

Accommodation
Beautiful Highland Lodge in an idyllic location – exclusively booked for our group
On this photo tour you will stay at an authentic Highland Lodge, which we have rented exclusively for our group. The staff of the lodge will take care of your well-being and will spoil you with delicious meals. You can look forward to homemade delicacies and local products. For example, fresh fish and crustaceans directly from the sea in front of the lodge, eggs from their own chickens and vegetables from the gardens. All meals and soft drinks are included on this photo tour.
The lodge is privately owned and is located in the middle of an unspoiled, impressive coastal landscape far away from civilization. The manor house was built over 100 years ago and is preserved in its original style. The surroundings invite you to go for walks and it is not uncommon to encounter deer or the ponies that live here.
Each guest has his own room available (no single room supplement). There are several bathrooms and showers available on different floors. In addition to the bedrooms, the lodge has several living rooms and lounges with fireplaces. Depending on the weather you can enjoy a typical peat fire. Wireless internet, a billiard room and a fitness room are also available.
