Harris in the Outer Hebrides is punctuated with rugged craggy rocks in the south, mountainous ranges dominating the north with surprisingly beautiful white sandy beaches dotted along the coast. The ‘Golden Road’ is a fantastically scenic drive through the south of Harris. Ambling over its wonderful lunar landscape and weaving in and out of its rugged coastline.
Harris is a dramatic island that boasts some of the best beaches in Britain. Harris is in fact part of one larger island, joined with Lewis to the north. Harris itself is divided into North and South Harris, by a narrow isthmus. The mountains of North Harris contrast with the rolling moors and lochans of the north of Lewis, while South Harris boasts some of the best beaches in the country, such as Luskentyre, backed by the shell-sand pasture known as machair where late spring and summer flowers create vivid colours and set the scene for much of the west coast of the island.
