landscapes - Lewis is low-lying and covered with black peat moors,
whereas Harris is rocky and mountainous, with fertile green
'Machair' land to the west |

This
area is a paradise for walking, climbing, bird watching,
photography and fishing - good salmon and trout lochs within
easy access of the cottage. |

On the
edge of the Atlantic, the Western Isles stretch for 130 miles,
from Barra in the south to the tip of Lewis in the north |
|
:: |
Clean
sandy beaches can be found on the west coast of the islands,
which have a distinct culture - Gaelic is the first language of
the majority of the population. |
