The Hebrides
Modern transportation links have greatly improved the accessibility of the islands to visitors. Unchanged though is the fresh clean unspoiled environment of the area with its beautiful white sandy beaches, spectacular coastlines, rugged hills and countless lochs scattered about the moorland.
The rich Gaelic culture can be sampled in the many museums, galleries and visitor centres. There are many areas of historical interest, the most famous being the Callanish standing stones.
Trout and Salmon fishing are second to none.
For the outdoor or sports enthusiast available activities include sea fishing, bird watching, hill walking, cycling, golf, tennis, bowls and a variety of water sports including diving for which the area is particularly well known.
The town of Stornoway has a comprehensive range of shops, many fine hotels and restaurants, a busy fishing harbour, a new sports centre & swimming pool and excellent sports and leisure facilities.
