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.
