Our Tourism Community Awards

Now in its second year, Our Tourism Community Awards shines a light on the finest hospitality, best creative approaches and most memorable island experiences across the Outer Hebrides. An independent panel of experts created the shortlist and picked the winners in 7 categories, recognising those who continue to raise the bar for visitors and locals alike.

From there, the finalists went head-to-head for the Hebridean Digital Trailblazer Award, decided by a public vote.

All winners were revealed and celebrated in style at the Networking and Awards Evening on Wednesday 26 November 2025 at the Cabarfeidh Hotel in Stornoway, bringing together our brilliant tourism community for a night of recognition, connection and well-deserved applause.
