The Western Isles, or Outer Hebrides (Na h-Eileanan Siar) of Scotland, include the islands of Lewis and Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, and Barra. The landscape of these remote islands is unlike any other island or mainland of Scotland. A rural setting, largely flat and open with few trees, if any, provides a truly peaceful location in which to enjoy a relaxing holiday or short break.

The beaches of the west coast offer miles of long and beautiful powder white sand with clear turquoise blue sea water, creating a paradise for walkers, families, surfers, wildlife watchers, artists and photographers as well as outdoor adventure seekers. In recent years the beaches of the Western Isles have been growing in popularity with surfing, kite surfing, surf kayaking and kayaking as well as pony trekking. The Outer Hebrides are also famed for the ancient Callanish Stones, cross-shaped standing stones c. 2000 BC, one of Scotland's most famous historic sites and one of Europe's most remote stone circles, now featured in the animation movie 'Brave' (2012).

The Outer Hebrides are most often reached by ferry crossing, however there are local airports to transport you as well. Given the remoteness, the Western Isles are surprisingly well served for visitors, with lots of visitor centres showcasing local crafts, local history museums and places of interest linked by mostly wee single track windy roads.
Featured on Scotland on Film, remote and rural areas have offered true film locations such as the Western Isles in the 1949 film ‘Whisky Galore’.
