Evening sun, Isle of Harris
 
The whole face of Harris is singularly rugged, being surrounded and intersected with rocks, marshes, mountains, hills of shelly sand, and lashed and stunned on the west and north with the tremendous roar of the Atlantic Ocean. Norman MacCaig

Harris

This is an island ready to exceed all expectations. Explore the lunar landscape of the Harris Hills ( the Clisham is the highest at 799 metres) created from Lewisian Gneiss, believed to be the oldest rock in the world.

Discover castles standing guard over deserted bays and notice how the peat landscape changes as local families use their ancient right to utilise this most ancient of renewable energy sources. Sit back and take a tranquil journey through time, where islanders observe Sunday as a day of rest, surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches imaginable with views across the sea to the castaway island of Taransay.
