Stornoway By Air

For anyone interested, I took this video from the plane, upon arrival in my town, Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Why is Scotland so beautiful by default? I feel like I need to travel very far to see this kind of beauty in the United States.

Thanks. Flatter than I would have guessed. I had always imagined terrain more like the Maine coast.

That's the town, Stornoway, which is fairly flat. However, there are areas on the Island, which are quite the opposite. You'll have to visit to find out!

Thank you for sharing this! I visited Lewis about 15 years ago, for 10 days, with a classmate who had distant cousins there (we were both studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh at the time). We arrived in Stornoway by ferry. I still remember the Island vividly and have always longed to go back.

Beautiful! My family is from the Lake District of England and I've wanted to visit there and go north into Scotland.

Nice! I did my last year of Univ at St Andrews and was able to travel around a bit. We honeymooned in Scotland with a week in Orkney. So beautiful.
