And also, are there pubs where people hang around? I remember one village in Ireland where there were 5 houses ans 3 of them were pubs. I think Scots are similar?
Good questions! Not much pub culture. There's about 3 in Stornoway – often quite a good atmosphere – but outside Stornoway it's primarily bars attached to hotels. Some of which are quite cosy and attract locals, I think. (I'd have tried the Cross Inn at Ness if it hadn't been Sunday.)
Few tourists at this time of year, but as the weather was good (this was a week ago) there was a small number of campervans about. In the summer it gets very busy, and set to get busier since Stornoway now has capacity for cruise ships. 😬

How many tourists or other campers you meet on thr way? Also, was this in the Summer or recently? Camping must be cold… thank you for this account!
