Leaving Skye's Cuillin mountains behind, the crossing to the Outer Hebrides takes you across open Atlantic water before some of Scotland's remotest, most beautiful white-sand beaches come into view. Luskentyre Beach on Harris, often ranked among the world's best, is a scenic drive from most of the main ferry ports. The prehistoric Callanish Standing Stones on Lewis, older than Stonehenge, are a worthwhile detour further north for history enthusiasts.
