The A888 is a narrow ribbon of tarmac that curls and loops around the inlets and headlands of the Hebridean island of Barra. |

If up early you can pick up the odd tailor or bream off the beaches or headlands. |

With neaping tides this weekend the best shot to target a barra will be around the rocky headlands. |
At Odeceixe in the south the River Seixe broadened through sandbars to meet the sea between high rocky headlands. |
