Spectacular white beaches, beautiful bays, a mountainous backdrop and amazing wildlife are just a few of the qualities which attract an appreciative stream of visitors to the Outer Hebridean Isle of Harris. Joined at the north to its neighbour Lewis, it is wild, remote and windswept and proudly embraces its Gaelic heritage.

Daily ferries run from the mainland and between islands, and wildlife cruises enable people to have a great chance of spotting minke whales, dolphins and other marine stars hanging out. Birdwatchers get their special close-ups at North Harris Eagle Observatory and the Harris Distillery warms up the visitors with tours, tastings and a sociable scene.

A number of creative professionals have opened galleries on Harris, providing unique souvenirs of great quality. Harris Tweed, produced from wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides, surely provides a fitting textile reminder, available from Harris’s largest settlement and ferry port, Tarbert. Seallham! Visitor Centre, in Northton, showcases local history and culture.
