June 1, 2023,Schottlandreise - die Nordspitze - Butt of Lewis

On the way to this tour we visited the "Callanish Stone Circle", the remains of the "Dun Carloway Broch" (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_Carloway) and the museum village "The Gearrannan Blackhouses" (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_Carloway) /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gearrannan_Blackhouses).

Then we went to the "Butt of Lewis" lighthouse and then back along the spectacular coast.
