Things to do

What to do and see

Lewis and Harris are home to one of the best prehistoric sites in Scotland, and fabulous beaches (Luskentyre rated #5 in the world). Add that to the abundant wildlife that you would expect in Scotland such as eagles, deer, otters, whales, dolphins etc and you have one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty in the world.

If its the Arts and music that takes your fancy, then the An Lanntair Arts centre is the hub for the island with regular exhibitions, an excellent cinema/theatre and cafe to leisurely pass the time. In July the HebCelt festival showcases the best and upcoming artists of Celtic music as well as various world music artists.

The following links provide some information and guides as to what to see and do on the Outer Hebrides, but we find the best way is just to get out there and explore, there’s always something of interest to be found.
