We just got back from the outer Hebrides! It was a proper adventure and I plan to go back when I can.
We had planned to do Barra, Uist, Harris and Lewis and cycle back accross skye. We decided to skip Harris/Lewis (apparently hilly) after the granny ring fell off one of the bikes - pretty much the only bolts I didn't double check before we left. We also lost a day on South Uist which made things a bit tight - didn't fancy cycling 50mi with a 60mph crosswind.
@JT, the roads arn't too bad and we found most drivers to be patient and wait for a passing place. You do get the odd local driver who takes no prisoners though. Since the A-road is usually the only road there's always more cars than I expect - I wouldn't call it busy though.
It was cool watching planes land on the beach at Barra airport:
