Posting here for traffic, hoping mn will be able to help us!
We’ve always wanted to go to the Western Isles and are looking at going this summer, probably staying on Lewis. Our DC have ASD and don’t especially like crowded places or the usual kiddy attractions - they are most happy on beaches (even drizzly ones 😉) and roaming around outdoor attractions, nice NT ruins etc.
The problem is my DS is absolutely terrified of dogs. Seriously phobic - if we see a dog on a beach he will want to go home, game over. So when we holiday in the UK we always go to dog-free beaches, even if it’s more of a trek. From what I can tell, all of the beaches in the western isles are dog-friendly, though it’s surprisingly hard to find out definitively!
For those who know the area, are there any beaches with any dog restrictions in the summer? Or any small coves that dog walkers probably wouldn’t bother with?
