We often see jellyfish on the Western Isles beaches - but this is the first time we have ever seen one actually swimming and revealing tentacles like this. This one was in the sea - at the other side of Huisinis - facing Scarp. |

Huisinis - a stunning sandy bay, overlooking the uninhabited isle of Scarp. You can also amble up the hillside and descend into yet another untouched beach overlooking crashing waves.The island of Scarp played a part in the history of the postal service. In 1934 German rocket scientist Gerhardt Zucher tried to persuade the British government to use rockets to send mail and medicine to remote islands. 30,000 pieces of mail were loaded into a canister and fired from Harris across to Scarp. The singed remains ensured that rocket mail is not a postal option today. The slipway is there for going to Scarp, but like Taransay, today the island is deserted |
