In order to avoid disappointment, booking is essential
The Shiants
The Shiant Islands are situated 11 miles east of the Scalpay Bridge and are often referred to as a 'mini St Kilda'. The Shiants provide one of the most dramatic examples of basalt rock pillars in Britain which compare favourably with the splendour of similar rock formations found at the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland and Fingals Cave on Staffa.

St Kilda
The Islands of St Kilda are situated 41 miles due west of the small Island of Pabbay in the Sound of Harris. They are so well documented that they need little introduction. These dramatic volcanic islands boast the highest sea cliffs in the UK as well as being the single most important sea bird breeding station in North West Europe. More >>
Pabbay
The beautiful Island of Pabbay is situated within the magnificent island strewn Sound of Harris, 7.5miles South-West of Leverburgh. Once you view this lush Island at close quarters, it comes as little surprise to learn that Pabbay was once known as the 'Granary of Harris' due to high quality crops which were produced from its fertile soil.

Taransay
Taransay lies a little more than a mile off the west coast of Harris and is the largest of the nearby islands. With stunning golden beaches and dramatic views of Harris, Tarnasay also boasts one of the most spectacular natural sea arches in the Outer Hebrides.

Scarp
Scarp lies off the rugged and stunning North West coast of Harris, separated from the main Island by a narrow stretch of water. This quarter-mile expanse of water served as the Islanders lifeline to Harris but it could equally serve to prevent access to the outside world during the winter months, with gales preventing their boats from making the short crossing for weeks at a time.
