Scottish Islands Explorer: Where Shadows Dance: If you like the photograph (above) of Northton Sands , South Harris, by Ruth Fairbrother , you will certainly enjoy the exhibition (below)...
We rented a cottage near this beach many years ago, and I remember we walked across it towards the sea the evening we arrived. The beach is so vast it can be used as an airstrip, and the tide was out. We walked and walked and the sea never seemed to get any closer. It was like an illusion. We closed our eyes and walked, knowing that all there was in front of us was yard upon yard of flat sand. I don't remember that we ever did reach the sea.
Nowadays I'd be worried about quicksand, or a tidal race.
