Traigh Mhòr Beach Pictured here is the stunning Traigh Mhòr beach near Tolsta, Isle of Lewis.

The beach stretches for two miles and provides a stunning walk (when the weather is nice). There also high sand dunes as an alternative route to walk and public WCs in the car park. This is great to exhaust any dog (including my Springer Spaniel).
