Welcome to the Outer Hebrides

The Outer Hebrides, just off the north west coast of Scotland, are a celebrated, interconnected chain of Atlantic islands which caters for thrill seekers and chill seekers alike.

Mountains, moors and machair (the rare and fragile grassland between sand dunes and moorland) and white sandy beaches host the very best of Gaelic culture, wildlife, food, drink and arts. Community ceilidhs, canoeing, hillwalking, windsurfing and dozing off in front of a warm peat fire.

With renowned Hebridean hospitality as standard, any stay here lives with you, your family and your friends forever.

Discover your very own slice of heaven, here in the Outer Hebrides - Scotlands Atlantic Islands.

Find the space to feed your soul. #visitouterhebrides.
