Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, is renowned for its white sands and stunning aqua-marine waters. This circular route lets you experience the breathtaking landscape from both the expansive beach and the higher ground on your return via the road. Along the way, you may even catch a glimpse of the island’s famous white ponies or resident Highland cows.
Gillian’s Walks is proud to have partnered with East Renfrewshire Council to help produce a series of short film clips for social media promoting some of the region’s best walking routes. Below is an overview of why I love walking there, with the individual route films available to view on the council’s YouTube channel.
