The Isles of Lewis and Harris are at the Northwest corner of the group of Islands known as the Hebrides, or Western Isles. The Hebrides are known as the "long island" as they stretch for 100 miles.

Don’t miss the pre-historic site of Callanish, the “Steinacliet Cairn & Stone Circle”, Travel through the island of Harris, which actually is joined to the Isle of Lewis. Harris has a wide range of landscapes, all of which have their own charm and interest. On the west coast lie some of the most spectacular beaches of Britain with large open machair areas. The east coast has some of the oldest rocks in the world, being dated at some three thousand million years old. Isle of Harry is also the home to the famous “ Harris Tweed”. The Island of Harris is an island of mountains, beaches and rock. Overnight on Isle of Lewis.

Referred to in Gaelic poetry and song as Eilean a' Cheň (The Misty Isle), Skye is renown for its natural beauty, history and wildlife. The Isle of Skye is the largest and best known of the Inner Hebrides, an island group off the West coast of Mainland Scotland.

Take the ferry to Uig and explore Isle of Skye, the most scenic of the Hebridean Islands, from the imposing Cuillin Hills to the small charming fishing town Portree. Stop in Portree, the principal town of the Isle of Skye, with a sheltered harbour and small but bustling centre.
