About the Outer Hebrides

Iconic, stunningly beautiful, magical and picture postcard perfect, the Outer Hebrides are the envy of the world,

Renowned for the colours of beaches and water, which are usually only found in paintboxes, the area is famous for attracting visiting artists and those looking to enjoy the peace and quiet natural landscape a little off the beaten track.

Despite the feeling of being part of another world, the islands around the Hebrides are easily accessible. They can be reached by sea and road, with the journeys taking only a few hours from the centre of Inverness to the Isle of Lewis.

While remote, the Outer Hebrides still enjoy many modern comforts, including supermarkets and a community hospital, both of which can be found on Lewis. There are also several schools throughout the islands, and sports and recreation facilities are plentiful, including leisure centres, swimming pools, and a mobile library.

At over 3,000 km2, this is a large area. But, given its unique location and the perception of being somewhere far from the rest of the world, it has a strong community and some surprisingly large settlements, including the second-largest town in Scotland.

The Outer Hebrides is a fabulous home or place of retreat for anyone who enjoys rich and fascinating marine and natural history, exquisite beaches, and the idea of living in a spectacular, dramatic part of Scotland.
