    Hiking

    Am Politician is named after the SS Politician, a ship that sank near Eriskay in 1941 and became famous for its cargo of whisky. The pub has some of the artefacts salvaged from the ship on display. Am Politician serves locally sourced seafood and produce and has a conservatory with beautiful views of the beach and the sunset. It's open all year round and has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

    I decided to grab some dinner there and was met by super friendly people.
    Quite a few of the people I met along the way and on the ferry, dropped by there too for some beer.
    If you're a Gin-lover like me, try their local gin!
    And as someone told me on the ferry, ask about their story! It's worth it! 😊
