The Boats at Valtos Shore - a photo on Flickriver

            Valtos (from the Old Norse 'Vald Hus' meaning 'house of one in power') is a large and well-populated village on the Valtos peninsula in the parish of Uig, on the south west coast of Lewis.  With a large and well used pier, it was, and still is a safe harbour from the unpredictable Atlantic swell off the coastline.  The stunning views from the pier extend to a number of offshore islands and skerries.  

With its picturesque boats and horseshoe curved shoreline, Valtos pier is a natural draw (no pun intended) for artists and photographers alike.
