Galleries in the Outer Hebrides

Be inspired at one of the many galleries through the Outer Hebrides.

Each with their own unique style, from the dramatic and vibrant to the calming and peacefull. Capturing the different personalities of the islands landscapes, culture and wildlife.

The artwork produced on the island is second to none in Scotland, and portrays the stunning scenery of the islands in awe-inspiring form – through paint, sculpture and even quilt-making.

The largest of the galleries is An Lanntair – an art gallery, cinema and music venue situated in the very centre of Stornoway. Further south on the isle of North Uist, the award-winning Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Art Centre displays and sells locally inspired artwork as well as a collection of over 1000 artefacts relating to the culture and heritage of the isles. More rural galleries showcase art amid the very surroundings that have served as inspiration.
