Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

    Ken MacDonald & Co The Cottage, Breaclete, Bernera, Solicitors & Estate Agents Isle of Lewis, HS2 9LT Stornoway, Isle of Lewis Offers in the region of £119,000 Shop Description Located on the main road through the rural countryside village of Breaclete the rare opportunity has arisen to obtain the former village Shop/Post Office and dwellinghouse. The one bedroom dwellinghouse has been recently renovated and benefits from UPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating. The accommodation comprises of porch, one bedroom, lounge, shower room and kitchen/dining area. To the front there is a small garden area with views of the loch and to the rear of the property there are large mature garden grounds. The subjects are a mix of residential and commercial premises with the former shop area being commercial and the rest of the property residential. This would be a wonderful opportunity for the right person to start up a local business as it’s location is ideal for catching the trade of tourists visiting the beautiful sandy shores. This would also provide an excellent “home and income” lifestyle opportunity making it an ideal investment. There could also be the opportunity to purchase the subjects ‘wholly’ as a residential premises subject to planning permission at the request of the purchaser giving it the potential to be a large dwellinghouse. Located approximately 25 miles from Stornoway town centre the subjects enjoy a peaceful setting within a traditional crofting township which is served by amenities including community centre and churches. The district is also home to stunning hillside scenery and Bosta beach which is only a few minutes drive away.

The area of the Outer Hebrides described in this paper includes North Harris and the Uig, Morsgail and Aline districts in Lewis. In addition, a narrow strip of country is included, north of Loch Erisort and extending eastwards from Balallan as far as the river Laxay on the estate of Soval. North Harris and its adjacent islands such as Scarp and Fladday on the west, and Soay in West Loch Tarbert on the south, forms part of Inverness - shire; Uig, Morsgail and Aline are included in Ross- shire. North Harris, joined to South Harris by the narrow isthmus at Tarbert, is bounded on the south by East and West Loch Tarbert, on the east by Loch Seaforb and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Its northern limit is formed partly by Loch Resort and partly by a land boundary much disputed in the past, passing from the head of Loch Resort between Stulaval and Rapaire to Mullach Ruisk and thence to the Amhuin a Mhuil near Aline Lodge on Loch Seaforth.
