Remote and beautiful Huisinis on the west coast of Harris in the Western Isles. The end of the road, and what an amazing road it is, single track and going for 15 miles through some of the most glorious scenery anywhere in Scotland.

The view north towards North Uist over the island of Benbecula in the Western Isles. Once accessible only by tidal fords from North Uist and South Uist, Benbecula is now connected to its neighbouring islands by causeways.

UndisScot - 89 years ago today. German rocket scientist Gerhard Zucker failed to send mail by rocket from Huisinis, Harris, to the island of Scarp on 28 July 1934. The rocket exploded on launch, scattering the mail. This is Scarp seen from Huisinis. More pics and info https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/harris/huisinis/index.html
