Harris Hotel

Situated in Tarbert, the hotel is the ideal base from which to make day tours of Harris, Lewis and even the Uists to the south. Alternatively Tarbert serves as an essential stopping-off point on your journey through the Outer Hebridean archipelago.

Harris Hotel was built in 1865 by the 7th Earl of Dunmore, and was originally called the Tarbert Hotel. At the time, he owned the North Harris Estate and built the hotel as a “sporting retreat” for anglers.

The estate has been owned by several individuals of note over the last century such as the Earl of Dunmore, Sir Samuel and Sir Edward Scott, Lord Leverhulme, Sir Tom Sopworth and Lord Brockett.

William Cameron took over the lease of the hotel in 1903 (having previously run the Taychreggan Hotel by Loch Awe in Argyllshire) and immediately changed the name of the premises to the Harris Hotel.

The Cameron family bought the hotel outright in 1948, and the third and fourth generations, now Morrison, are currently involved in running the business.

The original visitor books, stretching back to the 1880s, are still kept on the premises, and show a number of famous guests have stayed here over the last three centuries. J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, signed the visitor book in 1912, then at the height of his fame as a playwright.

He even took the time to etch his initials on the dining room window, which can still be seen today.

PS. I am busy saving for a few upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Scotland, Namibia, a few road trips in the USA including Route 66, and a few local National Parks and Botanical gardens in South Africa. The most important trip is honoring my promise to Dad to return to Scotland and capture the beautiful landscapes and Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.

Good morning everyone

It is raining cats and dogs at the moment. We are on our way to Wellington, TX. We still have 290 miles to go.

It has been a hectic week, with lots of long-distance traveling. I can’t believe it is Thursday already. Saturday, I will only have two weeks left here in the USA.

I have mixed feelings about going back. I miss my kids, family, friends, and my pets a lot. But I am dreading being apart from Christo for the five months before I return to the USA.

At least there is video calling….

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Good day everyone

I hope you are all doing great and did not miss me too much.

I had a hectic week last week. I was exploring, editing, and organizing my laptop.

I will spend my last three weeks in the USA working with Christo.

We left home this morning at 7:00 AM.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Good morning from Byers, TX

Good morning friends

It is a beautiful cloudy morning here in Byers, TX. I had a good night’s rest. The past few nights, I have been coughing myself awake. Last night I decided to try some Cough medicine for the night. It worked like a charm.

Yesterday, I drove to Marlow, Duncan, Comanche, and Addington in Oklahoma. I did not explore Duncan because it is too big. I will have to allocate a whole day to explore it thoroughly.

I was so busy capturing the towns with my camera that I completely forgot to take photos with my cellphone. I only took one in Marlow….

I have a few upcoming projects here in the USA that will run over the next few years.

1. Water Tower Project

Yes, you guessed correct. With this projects I am going to capture all the Water Towers of the different towns I visit and explore here in the USA.

2. Wall Mural Project

As we drove through the small towns all over the USA, I have noticed murals on the walls of old buildings. I would like to document these beautiful artwork in the towns I visit and explore.

3. Fauna and Flora Project

As you all know this one lies very close to my heart. I love capturing nature and of course I would like to document it. For now I am just focusing on the animal and birds around the house and in our garden. When I return in August 2023 I will be venturing to other areas.
