Touring The Hebrides Isles And The Worthy Places To See On The Isle of Harris

by Phil Marks

Staying on the beach for most of my summer vacation isn't my idea of the perfect vacation. Please don't misunderstand me, I really do enjoy relaxing on a sandy beach, but, I also like to spend time visiting other places while on vacation. I thoroughly enjoy taking in the atmosphere, I also like to experience the local culture and especially enjoy sampling the food. To be honest each year I enjoy visiting new places and I try extremely hard trying to find somewhere or something totally unique. This is the most probable reason why I so thoroughly enjoy visiting the island in the Hebrides known as the Isle of Harris and why I regularly choose to hire Harris self catering cottages.



The Isle of Harris is a tiny island situated off the Scottish west coast. Harris is one of 100's of small islands frequently referred to as the Outer Hebrides, although to be strictly correct the UK postal address is the Western Isles. Accepted as either/or the Western Isles or the Outer Hebrides the islands are beautiful in the extreme and interestingly unique. For tourists who enjoy visiting a beach with golden sands Harris has plenty to choose from and virtually all are wonderful and nearly always deserted. It would seem as though beyond turn in the road you are greeted with a truly awesome sight. The roads on the Isle of Harris are not the same as elsewhere in the United Kingdom single track roads are very common and you will will be required to use passing places to safely allow oncoming traffic to pass but also to let traffic from behind to pass. All you really need to do is come to a stop on the left. If the vehicle wishing to get past you is very large and the passing place
is to the right hand side of the road you may move over into it to let the large vehicle pass more easily but at all time take care not to end up off the road too much.



One of the primary reasons folk visit the Isle of Harris is to enjoy the the culture and landscape of the islands. The Isle of Harris culture has, throughout history been incredibly influenced by the Scottish, English, Norse and Celtic races. Nowadays the majority of folk speak in the Gaelic language and although many talk in English, it is commonly their second language. The Harris people are amongst the friendliest in the world and their hospitality is well known across the globe. The Isle of Harris folk are extremely proud of the immensely beautiful Harris countryside and go to great lengths to keep the place tidy and clean so it is vitally important not to leave any litter behind.



Dotted all along the south west coast of the Isle of Harris you will find some of the most stunningly beautiful golden sandy beaches in all of Scotland, and many folk say the U.K. The waters are extremely clear and it is a fact that the beaches on the Isle of Harris are incredibly clean. Alarmingly there is no way to avoid debris washing up from ships in the Atlantic but surprisingly there is little.
