Activities/Attractions: The North Harris Landscape is spectacularly
beautiful.
It is the most mountainous region in the Western Isles and includes
the famous Sron Ulladail overhang and the highest hill Clisham
(2622ft) - both a great attraction to visitors whom we wish to
welcome.
Internationally recognised for its wildlife, the rugged upland and oceanic habitats provide a haven for several rare species including the spectacular golden eagle.
Much of the natural heritage is dependent on active management of
land and its present quality is testament to the relationship that
has existed between the land and the crofters who work it.
By taking responsibility for the land we have become masters of our
own destiny, creating a vibrant, modern community that prizes its
Gaelic language, way of life and rich cultural and natural
heritage.
Overlooking West Loch Tarbert, you can see an abundance of wildlife. Recently spotted : The great northern diver, a pod of porpoises, a breeding pair of buzzards and a breeding pair of golden eagles. Apart from these, we have a resident otter family and a variety of seabirds, too many to list here.
