Rich History to Explore
The Outer Hebrides or the Gaelic 'Na h-Eileanan an Iar' (for many of the locals, Gaelic is their first language) consist of 130 miles of many large and small islands - from Lewis and Harris in the north to Uist and Barra in the south.
Lewis & Harris
Harris is the southern region of Lewis and is the home of Harris Tweed. Lewis is characterised by peat bogs in the north, hills, lochs and sandy beaches on its west coast.
North & South Uist
North Uist is characterised by many lochans. The landscape in South Uist is hilly with fantastic white sandy beaches and machair.
Lewis & Harris
Harris is the southern region of Lewis and is the home of Harris Tweed. Lewis is characterised by peat bogs in the north, hills, lochs and sandy beaches on its west coast.
North & South Uist
North Uist is characterised by many lochans. The landscape in South Uist is hilly with fantastic white sandy beaches and machair.
These islands can be accessed by ferry or by plane to airports at Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra. Ferries run from Ullapool to Stornoway, Uig (Skye) to Lochmaddy in North Uist and Tarbert on Harris, and from Oban to Castlebay on Barra and Lochboisdale on South Uist.
The culture in the north is deeply influenced by strong Protestant beliefs with everything closing down on Sundays whereas the Roman Catholic south is less strict about observing the Sabbath and the drinking of alcohol. The Western Isles has a fascinating history demonstrated by Neolithic standing stones, Viking place names and evidence of the Clearances.
The islands are home to a wide range of rare flowers and fauna and there are over 50 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) scattered over the islands.

14-May-2024 | Calderburn Cottage, Aberchalder CZ7 (overall) | We had a lovely break at Calderburn Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped (we cooked dinner most nights), cosy, and comfortable, and has a lovely secure garden perfect for my dog. The location was perfect for exploring the lochs and mountains nearby, with fabulous low level and hillier walks right on the doorstep. | ||
14-May-2024 | The Hirsel BP9 (overall) | Be prepared to step into a world of isolated relaxation as soon as you turn into the estate. Beautiful, peaceful countryside with stunning views and local wildlife on your doorsteps. The cottage itself is excellent and supplied with everything you need for a break. The secure front garden was perfect for our dog to enjoy all day long. The area is fantastic with relatively easy walks to some local lochs through beautiful countryside. The only thing I can suggest would enhance the experience of the Hirsel would be a small garden table for resting a glass of wine on whilst soaking up the views. Will certainly return. | ||
