An often overlooked site in favour of the stones but a must see in our opinion! Only a few minutes drive away from Calanais Standing Stones and the Gearranean Blackhouse Village.

It's WORLD OTTER DAY today!

Keep your eyes peeled as you cross our causeways...

One of our faves & a must do! Take a short detour to visit Dun Eistean along the route.

WALK THIS WAY⬅🚶🚶

This short coastal circular route combines both sandy beaches and impressive sea cliffs. It also provides a good chance to spot whales, dolphins and basking sharks on calm days.

Much of the walking is on short cropped turf above the cliff tops. There is not much of a path but occasional
wooden marker posts way-mark the route.

➡Route Time - 2hrs
➡Distance - 3.5 miles
➡Grade - Easy to Moderate

Wildlife lovers and wildlife flock to the Outer Hebrides!

Our coastlines are a natural haven for wildlife; with the skies filled with sea birds and seas with whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking sharks. 🐳🐋🐦

Getting out on the water with our boat trip operators is a great way to spot these wonderous creatures!👇

🌠INTERNATIONAL DARK SKIES WEEK🌠

This week we are celebrating our Dark Skies!

The natural night is filled with wonder and awe, and is critical to the health and wellbeing of our planet, our wildlife and ourselves.

We are fortunate to have some of the darkest skies in the world, with much of the Outer Hebrides classed as Bortle 1 on the Bortle scale (1 - excellent dark skies and 9 - bright being inner cities).

Our pristine dark skies are perfect to observe distant galaxies, the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis.

Celebrating our language with World Gaelic Week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today the islands are the main stronghold of this lyrical language in Scotland, and one of the few places you’ll hear it spoken as you travel around – on the croft, in church, in a café or on the ferry. Dating back centuries, Gaelic is one of the oldest languages in Europe and is more than a thousand years older than English.

Why not have a look at them on our website or buy a bottle or 2 when you visit? 😉
