Steve,
How are you getting between these locations? This may or may not throw up a few side trips worth making?
I'm afraid to confess that though I'm pretty well travelled in Scotland, Island and the Mull of Kintyre are places I've not visited (yet).
However, the Outer Hebrides I do know. Will you be on South Uist exclusively for Askernish, or travelling further afield? Try to find time for:
UISTS & BENBECULA- Get in touch with Askernish Chairman Ralph Thompson (some time of this Parish) who I've no doubt will look after you well.
- Great food can be had at Langias Lodge and fantastic smoked fish etc at The Hebridean Smokehouse
http://www.hebrideansmokehouse.com/ at Clachan.
- You probably wont have time for a wildlife tour, but I can recommend someone if you have a spare day. We spotted saw every species of bird of prey on the island in our one day with this guy as well as otters, deer, the usual hebrides wildlife stuff. All stunning.
So thats golf, possible local hospitality, local food and stunning wildlife sorted, with the scenery as a backdrop. However IF you get further north...
HARRIS & LEWIS- Visit the stone circle at Callanish
http://www.callanishvisitorcentre.co.uk/index.php/features- Visit the broch at Dun Carloway
http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/propertyresults/propertydetail.htm?PropID=PL_102- Play golf at Isle of Harris GC, I drove past it without time to play, and regret not playing!
http://www.harrisgolf.com/- Search out the Blackhouses village at Gearrannan
http://www.gearrannan.com/history.html- Plenty of stunning white beaches but perhaps the most stunning is at Camas Uig on the west coast, which is of historical interest for in 1831 a medieval chess set was discovered dating back to the 12th Century probably of Norwegian origin.
Here endeth my usual "don't rush around just playing golf in Scotland, but slow down and savour the hospitality, views, wildlife, food and history" lesson.
Cheers,
James
