Lovely restuarant in Stornoway, great local seafood and relaxed atmosphere. Early bird menu and lunch menu are excellent value but would highly recommend either lunch or dinner.

Parks & Nature
Only one of the best beaches in Harris (the world) just across from Luskentyre and probably nobody on it.

Luskentyre Beach
Miles of golden sand and hardly anyone around.
Big Atlantic Waves. One for the surfers, probably best to be careful as the water has a strong pull but a beautiful beach. Near by Dal Beag is gorgeous also.
