We left the site and drove to a Co-op in Boisdale for some shopping. However we found that the recent cyber attack on Co-op systems had affected deliveries and there were lots of empty shelves. However we managed to get enough to keep us going.
We then drove to the start of our next walk, near Daliburgh. We parked next to a cemetery and headed over the dunes to the ruined Cladh Hallan roundhouses, which date from the Bronze Age.
The walk then took us down a white sandy beach, then back inland over the machair, which was populated by thousands of rabbits.
We drove on and parked in the car park of a church just outside Bornish.
From there we walked out to a headland surrounding a loch, that was a well known bird spotting area. Mostly we saw lapwings and geese.
We walked back past many plots of cultivated land. It looks like just sand, but apparently they can successfully grow grain and root crops there, in a combination of sand and peat, fertilised with seaweed.
From the church we drove back out to the headland, as we decided to wildcamp there for the night.
There was one other occupant, a German couple sleeping in a Range Rover. The bloke was quite active, spending his time flying a drone, taking bird pictures with a long lens, and skinny-dipping...
Later we went for a walk along the beach, and had prawn curry for dinner.
