Scalpay

We had planned on camping somewhere near Luskentyre Beach but it was super windy, cold & rainy. So at the last minute we decided to skip the tent for the night, and upgrade to a B&B. Obviously we didn’t have any reservations or even know of a place to stay. So off to Google we went, and we stumbled upon Hirta House B&B. It looked warm & cozy and they had a room available so we booked it. A very nice couple own & operate the B&B with 3 guest rooms with en-suites.

Hirta House is an adorable quintessential Scottish B&B. Very kind, gracious, and helpful hosts. Our room was adorable with a beautiful view. After several cold, rainy days and nights in a tent, a hot shower & a nice, warm bed were welcome luxuries.

It was getting late so we didn’t get to explore the island that much but they do have a beautiful lighthouse that is supposed to be a really nice hike.

The Isle of Scalpay felt like a little untouched piece of Scotland.

We asked the host if they had recommendations for a good place to get dinner nearby and they said the North Harbor Bistro is right down the street & has excellent food.

Little did we know that we were about to experience one of the best meals of our lives.

Here’s the full story about our Dining Adventure at the North Har or Bistro!

Adventure Always.
