Isle of Harris
White-sand beaches, turquoise water and the home of Harris Tweed.
Joined to Lewis by land, Harris surprises anyone who pictures Scotland only as mountains and mist.
On the west coast are beaches such as Luskentyre and Seilebost, with white sand and turquoise water, often ranked among the most beautiful in Europe. On the east side the landscape changes completely: lunar rock, small harbours and roads winding between lochs.
Harris is also the home of Harris Tweed, the cloth handwoven by the islanders, and of the distillery in Tarbert where Isle of Harris Gin is made. In the south, the medieval St Clement’s Church at Rodel completes the journey.
Available on private itineraries of 4 to 5 days or more, usually combined with Skye and Lewis.
