Harris is the southern part of the Scottish Hebridean island of Lewis and Harris. It’s known for sandy beaches like Luskentyre and Scarista on the west coast, and for rugged mountains in the north. In the east is an area of miniature fjords called the Bays. The 16th-century St. Clement’s Church in the village of Rodel has 3 richly carved tombs. Harris is also the original home of Harris Tweed, luxury handwoven cloth.
Isle of Harris is the southern and more mountainous part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Although not an island itself, Harris is often referred to as the Isle of Harris, which is the former postal county and the current post town for Royal Mail postcodes starting HS3 or HS5; see HS postcode area. A person from Harris is known as a Hearach. Rockall, an uninhabited islet is deemed to be part of the parish. It is 230 miles (370 km) west of North Uist.
Harris divides naturally into northern and southern parts which are separated by West and East Loch Tarbert. These halves are joined by a narrow isthmus at the main settlement of Tarbert (An Tairbeart or Tairbeart na Hearadh). The bedrock of Harris is largely Lewisian gneisses, which were laid down in the Precambrian period, interspersed with igneous intrusions. One of these intrusions forms the summit plateau of the mountain Roinebhal. The rock here is anorthosite, and is similar in composition to rocks found in the mountains of the Moon.
North Harris, adjoining Lewis, contains Clisham (An Cliseam), the highest mountain in the Outer Hebrides at 799 metres (2,621 ft). The southern part of Harris is less mountainous, with numerous unspoilt, white sandy beaches on the west coast. Its main settlements are Rodel (Roghadal), known for its medieval kirk of St. Clement (Eaglais Chliamhain), the most elaborate surviving medieval church in the Hebrides after Iona Abbey, and Leverburgh
Tarbert is the main port and main settlement of Harris, with a population of about 550. The name Tarbert comes from the Norse tairbeart meaning portage or isthmus. It is located on an isthmus between Loch Tarbert and West Loch Tarbert. The island of Scalpay is located at the mouth of East Loch Tarbert. It was known historically for its fishing industry, though little of that remains. The island was linked to Harris when the Scalpay Bridge was opened in 1997, connecting Scalpay to the settlement of Kyles on Harris.
In common with many parts of the Highlands and Islands Harris has numerous single-track roads with passing places at intervals. Ferries sail from Tarbert to Uig in Skye. Harris is also known for Harris tweed, although this is mostly now made in Lewis.

Luskentyre Beach Isle of Harris Outer Hebrides Scotland
Tour Scotland video of Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The name Luskentyre derives from Lios-cinn-tir, meaning, headland fort, although there is no trace or local knowledge of a fort at the headland. However, the headland contains the site of an old part of Luskentyre Cemetery. Luskentyre Beach has been voted Britain's best beach. Luskentyre is accessible from the A859, via a minor road.

Beautiful Isle of Harris
Just panning around while stood looking at the stunning scenery that the Isle of Harris has to offer. Stunning beach & Mountainous terrain in the distance. Beautiful.

Isle of Lewis and Harris by Drone.
In this video, you'll see some aerial shots of the island of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides Archipelago. It is the largest Scottish island and 3rd largest of all the British Isles.
The southern part of the island is mostly hilly but the north is scattered with beautiful, tropical-like beaches. The sad part is that the weather wasn't indulging enough to have a dip (even in mid summer). The places seen in this video are Bosta Beach, Scarista Beach, Luskentyre and the remote little peninsula of Great Bernera. We also managed to catch the last streaks of sunset in the enigmatic site of Callanish Standing Stones.
Most of the scenery has been captured by drone, namely Mavic Air with a bunch of PolarPro polarising filters. The rest of the shots are from Canon 80d.

Luskentyre Beach - Harris
So we had 14 days on the Hebrides. 13 of the days the wind howled and the rain came in sideways.
The one great day we had was when we arrived at Luskentyre beach on Harris. Possibly the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life.
