Rich History to Explore
The Outer Hebrides or the Gaelic 'Na h-Eileanan an Iar' (for many of the locals, Gaelic is their first language) consist of 130 miles of many large and small islands - from Lewis and Harris in the north to Uist and Barra in the south.

Lewis & Harris
Harris is the southern region of Lewis and is the home of Harris Tweed. Lewis is characterised by peat bogs in the north, hills, lochs and sandy beaches on its west coast.

North & South Uist
North Uist is characterised by many lochans. The landscape in South Uist is hilly with fantastic white sandy beaches and machair.

Lewis & Harris
Harris is the southern region of Lewis and is the home of Harris Tweed. Lewis is characterised by peat bogs in the north, hills, lochs and sandy beaches on its west coast.

North & South Uist
North Uist is characterised by many lochans. The landscape in South Uist is hilly with fantastic white sandy beaches and machair.
These islands can be accessed by ferry or by plane to airports at Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra. Ferries run from Ullapool to Stornoway, Uig (Skye) to Lochmaddy in North Uist and Tarbert on Harris, and from Oban to Castlebay on Barra and Lochboisdale on South Uist.

The culture in the north is deeply influenced by strong Protestant beliefs with everything closing down on Sundays whereas the Roman Catholic south is less strict about observing the Sabbath and the drinking of alcohol. The Western Isles has a fascinating history demonstrated by Neolithic standing stones, Viking place names and evidence of the Clearances.
The islands are home to a wide range of rare flowers and fauna and there are over 50 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) scattered over the islands.

This was our second visit to Ashieburn Cottage. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It is spotlessly clean and well appointed. The garden is large and beautifully maintained it is also totally enclosed so ideal for our dog to roam around. There is a lovely wood adjacent to the property which is ideal for exercising the dog. Overall we had a lovely week here and will be back | |

Jlana is a fabulous home from home. This cottage has everything you could possibly need for a holiday home. The decoration is a mix of contemporary, modern and old and it works so well. The owners are very artistic in the way they have designed the house. Everything from furniture to crockery is excellent quality. There is a most interesting cottage garden with lots of seating areas. The location of Jlana is perfect. So close to the quantities fishing villages and inland for castles, gardens and of course Scotland's Secret Bunker. Fife is such a lovely county and unlike many areas in Scotland is not overcrowded. | |
