FloraG Yes, I know Kent well having lived there from 1979 to 1990 (ex foreman & fool of Wadard Morris who I still try to dance with most years). I'm not a local but have been here over 20 years. If you want to blow lots of dosh you could do worse than taking a day trip to St Kilda - I got round to doing it last August and although expensive it was worth every penny. Most sites of interest on Lewis are on the west side and are (from north to south):- Butt of Lewis & lighthouse St Moluag's church, Eoropaidh Dun Eistean fort, Ness Trussel Stone, Ballantrushal Black House, Arnol Whalebone Arch, Shawbost Norse Mill, Shawbost Black House Village, Garranin Broch, Dun Carloway Callanish Stones Pictish Settlement, Bosta Beach, Great Bernera May & June are usually the best months weather-wise. Dramatic scenery in Harris - if you're feeling energetic (and have the right gear) you could climb the Clisham which is the highest mountain in the Western Isles. Also Rodel church in the south of Harris is worth seeing. Hope this gives you some ideas and that you are in Stornoway for our session in May. Don
