The dramatic scenery and cultural heritage of the Outer Hebrides has long inspired the indigenous people of these islands to use their creative talents to write songs and poetry or to paint landscapes or portraits celebrating this. Today the islands attract many imaginative people from other parts of the British Isles and beyond to settle here and produce arts and crafts.
Throughout the islands you will find small retail outlets and galleries selling island made jewellery, soap, artwork etc.
The islands have also become well known for the quality of their food produce and there are shops and outlets selling high quality meat products, Salmon and Shellfish.
A wide range of books are available at locations throughout the islands, many of them are written by islanders or authors with island connections.
Harris Tweed is a textile that is unique to our islands and this very versatile cloth has been made into a diverse range of products that are on sale in many craft and retail outlets on the islands.
Although the bulk of the islands population live on the Islands Lewis and Harris and the town of Stornoway has several supermarkets, there are supermarkets on several of the smaller islands and independent stores and community shops throughout the islands.
