Lewis and Harris, Outer Hebrides Islands, Scotland
Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides make up the largest island in Scotland. This is the third largest single island of the British Isles, after Great Britain and Ireland. The northern part of the island is called Lewis, the southern is Harris and both are frequently referred to as if they were separate islands. The boundary between Lewis and Harris is formed by a line with Loch Resort on the west and Loch Seaforth on the east. The island does not have a common name in either English or Scottish Gaelic and is referred to as 'Lewis and Harris', 'Lewis with Harris', 'Harris with Lewis' etc. Rarely, the collective name of the Long Island is used, although this is normally applied to the entire Outer Hebrides. Most of Harris is very hilly, with more than thirty peaks above 1,000 ft (300 m) high and seven mountains, defined as Corbetts. It has an area of 841 square miles (2,178 km2) – slightly under one per cent of the area of Great Britain. It is 24 miles (39 km) from the nearest point of the mainland, from which it is separated by the Minch. Lewis is comparatively flat, save in the south-east, where Ben More reaches 1,874 ft (571 m), and in the south-west, where Mealasbhal 1,885 ft (575 m) is the highest point. Lewis and Harris is the most populous of the Scottish islands, and had just over 20,500 residents in 2011, a rise of 5.6% from the 2001 census total of 19,918. The civil parish of Stornoway, including the main town of the island itself and various nearby villages, has a population of approximately 12,000.

Outer Hebrides - Isle of Lewis and Harris . Travelling VLOG
Exploring the Outer Hebrides was one of a kind. My first solo trip. 7days on the road that I will never forget. Been to Scotland already 2 times before, and the last time- which it was actually just 2 months before this trip (March 2018) I remember sitting on Isle of Skye and thinking how cool probably are the Islands northern from us. Thanks to Hostelworld, I got this opportunity to see this amazing place!
Check this page out, if you want to know more about this place!
It was good to travel alone, because I would probably be annoying even to my best friend with stopping every 5 min to take a photo of this spectacular landscape. At some point, I couldn't even believe it to myself anymore, but this place looked like Caribbean.

A Guide To Island Hopping in Scotland
Island hopping is a great way to experience the offshore gems and secret spots that Scotland has to offer – whether you have a week or a weekend to spend here, the islands won’t disappoint.
Scotland is famed for its staggering mountains, beautiful lochs, and a variety of gems to explore, but, did you know that our islands are magical and otherworldly? Scotland has over 790 islands, each unique in their own way. With incredible natural beauty, dramatic seascapes and magical atmosphere, you’ll never want to leave island life behind.
Our islands are split into a few groups – Inner Hebrides, Outer Hebrides, Shetland, and Orkney.
Navigating across these bucket list-worthy islands is easier than you may think. Regular ferry connections run from the mainland to the islands on the west and north coasts of Scotland, as well as between the islands themselves. Some ferries allow you to take your car so you can continue exploring when you’re there.
You can even fly to various islands from the cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Or why not fly from island-to-island to save time travelling?
Our islands have more to show than you can fit into a day – so why not stay over? There’s plenty of accommodation options on offer – from cosy cottages on the waterfront and eco-friendly self-catering lodges, to quaint campsites, caravans and B&Bs – but make sure you book ahead!
Venture to the Inner Hebrides if you want to explore places seen in blockbuster films, such as Prometheus, Snow White & The Huntsman, and Flash Gordon, or if you’re up for a scenic sailing tour. If magical lands filled with ancient history take your fancy, then head to Orkney!
The Isle of Mull is the perfect location to spot a variety of wildlife, including eagles soaring overhead, and head to Tobermory to see the colourful houses and buildings as well as trying some fresh seafood in one of the local pubs. Or, if you want to sample a dram or two of whisky then head to the Isle of Islay where you can choose from eight distilleries.
On the west coast, enjoy the untouched beauty of the Isle of Jura, let your inner adventurer out and try windsurfing on the Isle of Tiree, or uncover the turbulent history at the ancient abbey on the Isle of Iona.
If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, the waters off the Isle of Coll are a great place to spot giant basking sharks, and even if you’ve never been there, you’re probably already familiar with Skye – it’s one of the most photographed, and talked about, of the Scottish islands.
The Outer Hebrides are perfect if you’re looking for crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches. Or hop further afield to Orkney and Shetland to tick these magical places off your bucket list. From remnants of ancient civilisations, the chance to spot the Northern Lights during the darker winter months, and the cries of thousands of seabirds, to lively folk music sessions and ferocious Viking culture – there’s an abundance of things to keep you busy!
Why not follow some of our ready-made itineraries, or plan one of your own to make the most out of your island adventure?

We touched them! ???????? Callanish Standing Stones | Isle Of Lewis, Scotland | Rabbies
The Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland are older than the pyramids and you can touch them! Doune Broch is also on the agenda with our Rabbies tour today.. ⬇ More Below ⬇
We've spent the past 3 days exploring Lewis and Harris, a ridiculously beautiful area of Scotland, on a tour with Rabbies. Today's main attractions are the Callanish Standing Stones and Doune Broch.
The Callanish Stones are legit older than the pyramids, older than Stonehenge and you can just walk right up and touch them when you visit Scotland! The Callanish Circle is one of the more popular tourist attractions on the Isle of Lewis yet there was still very few people there. Both Lewis and Harris continue to impress us.
Our first stop was Doune Broch, considered part of the wider Callanish attractions it was an amainzing first stop on our last day with Rabbies - the views were amazing as we've come to expect from both Lewis and Harris either way.
This is the tour around Lewis and Harris we took, there's plenty of other Rabies Tours also —
We took a tour in England with Rabbies last year also and loved it - watch last years series here —

Outer Hebrides, Isle of Harris, Lewis, Great Bernera, Isle of Skye & Glenfinnan Viaduct
We decided on a trip up to the Outer Hebrides a couple of weeks ago. Managed to fit in 4 islands over 4 days:
Isle of Skye
Isle of Harris
Isle of Lewis
Great Bernera
Some great beaches and sights on those islands including the Callanish Standing Stones and the harbour town of Stornoway.
Also caught the Harry Potter train going over Glenfinnan Viaduct on our way home.
The Outer Hebrides is a great place and I would highly recommend a trip there to anyone, we'll definitely be back!
Thanks for watching.

Places to see in ( Stornoway - UK )
Stornoway is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. Stornoway is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis now more closely resembles Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.
Stornoway is also the public transport hub of Lewis, and buses run to Point, Ness, Back and Tolsta, Uig, the West Side, Lochs and Tarbert, Harris. These buses are provided by the Comhairle and several private operators as well as some community-run organisations.
Suggestions for the possibility of an undersea tunnel linking Lewis and Harris to the Scottish mainland were raised in early 2007. One of the possible routes, between Stornoway and Ullapool, would be over 40 miles (60 km) long and hence become the longest road tunnel in the world.
Stornoway Airport is located next to the village of Melbost, 2 miles (3 km) away from the town itself. From here services operate to Aberdeen, Benbecula, Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow, with flights from Flybe franchisee Loganair & Eastern Airways. The airport is also the base of an HM Coastguard Search & Rescue Sikorsky S-92 helicopter, and was previously home to RAF Stornoway. In 1898, the Hebridean Light Railway Company was proposed, with a terminus at Stornoway, but the line was never constructed.
Notable buildings in Stornoway include:
Stornoway Town Hall
The Lewis War Memorial
The neo-gothic Lews Castle
( Stornoway - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Stornoway . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Stornoway - UK

The Fantastic Tale of the Lewis Chessmen
In this episode of Masterworks, immerse yourself in the fantastical tale of the Lewis Chessmen and discover the latest member of this famous band of brothers. Found in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the Lewis Chessmen have inspired new generations, from the classic British 1960s children’s animated television series, The Sagas of Noggin the Nog, to, most recently, Harry Potter, in the Warner Bros. production of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Japanese Manga, in Hoshino Yukinobu’s Professor Munakata’s British Museum Adventure. Bought for £5 by an antiques dealer in Edinburgh in the 1960s, A Warder (Attributed to the Lewis Chessmen Workshop) is a highlight of our upcoming Old Master Sculpture & Works of Art sale (02 | London).

The Arnol Blackhouse , ruined number 39, Isle of Lewis and Harris. New Tour Guide in Training :)
Our Fantastic new Tour Guide in Training.
Arrans giving an improve tour of one of the stunning Blackhouses from the Isle of Lewis. These fantastic buildings were still unused on the Island until the 1970’s and housed the family and the cattle. They also had a peat burning fire in the middle of the living room, which had no chimney or windows for ventilation. This left everything covered in a dark layer of peat suite. Good for the lungs is what I’ve heard

Touring Scotland in a Motorhome #5 Pt 1 Isle of Lewis, NC500 and the Outer Hebrides
Wednesday 20th saw a further improvement in the weather (no heater needed! ) After a peaceful night at Luskentyre. Heading north I had heard of an excellent wild camping spot at Hushinish, a spot I will definitely come back to in the future! The terrain on Harris and Lewis is so different from the Uist's and in the right conditions some stunning views of The Isle of Skye can be had to the right before Tarbert they are worth looking out for.
Hushinish Gateway is one of The North Harris Trust honesty sites, There are four spaces with hook ups and water, grey water and chemical toilet facilities. cont/... Pt2
