About
Here in the Western Isles, the landscape and history of Lewis, together with the hospitality of its people provide a wonderful escape from the pressures of modern life. With luck you may even see otters, seals, eagles or dolphins. Deer tend to keep to the high ground during the summer, but sometimes you can see them on the Harris Estate near Ardhasaig and Ardvourlie along the main road from Tarbert to Stornoway. In the summer months there are many colourful wild flowers to be seen on the machair.
The heather is a picture of purple in late summer when in full bloom.
