Tha mise gu math sgìth! Bha sinn eagallach trang!

There was a big music festival going on here. It was a bit loud for my sensitive ears, but Munro Jr and Melodaidh seemed to have a great time. Morag and Seanair seemed to enjoy it, too.

What really excited me were the Highland Games! There were lots of throwing events. One involved really big sticks. But the silly men didn’t throw them very far, so I didn’t bother fetching them. I’m sure that Seanair could have done a better job, if only he’d entered.

I’m afraid I’m too tired to write much more. Oidhche mhath!

Feasgar math a chàirdean!

We’ve been exploring around the whole of the Western Isles. It turns out that the Isle of Lewis is not the whole island! That seems a bit strange to me… the other part is the Isle of Harris, which is where I guess Harris Tweed comes from. Morag was pretty interested in that.

Seanair wanted to go up “An Cliseam,” which has the highest point in the Outer Hebrides! Typical! But the views from the top weren’t bad. (Of course, you can’t tell Seanair I said that or he’ll be dragging me up even more mountains!)

We also went to a few museums and stuff, but I was more interested in running around outside, so I didn’t see much there. And I think I saw a few signs with pictures of dogs with red strips through them. I don’t want to get my fur painted!

Seanair said I was so well-behaved that he gave me extra cheese and onion crisps! Yum! Perhaps I should try behaving more often…well…not too often!

Ciamar a tha sibh? Tha cùisean a’ dol gu math an seo. Tha sinn ann an Leòdhas a-nis. ’S e àite gu math snog a th’ ann! I think I’m getting better at the Gaelic!

We arrived on the Isle of Lewis, and I think this is one of my favourite places so far! We got to take a big ferry to get here … it was great! And there don’t seem to be many mountains for Seanair to drag me up. Mind you, he usually finds something to climb… at least my poor paws have a break for now. I’ll have to stay on the lookout, though…

Plus, there are some great beaches. We went to a couple of them. I had a great time chasing the waves in and out! I would have won, too, if Munro Jr hadn’t thrown a stick for me to fetch. I got soaked! Still, I got my own back when I shook myself dry next to him! He looked pretty mad, but Melodaidh started laughing, and he seemed to cheer up a bit.

Anyway, I’d best be off for now. I can hear Seanair’s walking boots from here!

Tìoraidh an-dràsta,
