Food and Drink

Eat Drink Hebrides, part of Outer Hebrides Tourism, was established in 2016 to support food and drink businesses across the Outer Hebrides from Barra to the Butt of Lewis. There are currently 70 + members featuring as part of the trail, which is supported both by a print-leaflet and a range of on-line resources. There are also projects throughout the year which food and drink members have the opportunity to be part of.

The Outer Hebrides, with a strong history of traditional crofting and fishing, has an abundance of local produce. Visitors can follow the Eat Drink Hebrides Trail and follow their own, self-guided food and drink journey through the islands
