How long ago was this?
On our first visit in 1984 we were shocked and horrified by amount of rubbish in ditches. Another shock was the number of clearly derelict vehicles around houses along the road from Stornoway to Tarbert. In fact a car body leaned against a wall in style of this accident would have drawn no particular attention after first few miles.
More recently it's been much much better.
Just now I've booked ferries for our next trip up there in May/June 2020. Fortnight in a cottage that's secluded yet within walking distance of Tarbert.
