Outer Hebrides Tour Experience from Inverness
Description
Explore Scotland's Largest Island - Lewis and Harris from Inverness.
Day 1 - North to Lewis and Harris...
This day takes you further north, first to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, then to Dunrobin Castle*, the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and home of the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland. Here you can also enjoy a falconry display and a walk in its beautiful gardens. Then you will discover Knockan Crag Nature National Reserve and learn about one of the oldest landscapes in Europe. Your journey through the Sutherland area will then take you on to the beautiful seaside town of Ullapool, where you catch the ferry to the Isle of Lewis and Harris
Overnight stay at Stornoway
Day 2 - Ancient history and traditional tweed...
Today you will visit Arnol Black Houses, you will learn about tweed weaving and Harris Tweed cloth. You'll then be able to explore Carloway Broch, an exceptionally well-preserved Iron Age structure located above Loch an Duin. The day also features visits to the ancient Callanish Standing Stones, one of the most iconic places on the island where we’ll enjoy lunch. In the afternoon you can stroll along what is arguably Harris’ most beautiful beach, Lusekentyre, we'll then continue down to the most southerly point of the island and Rodel Church, the ancient burial ground of the MacLeod family. Then it's time for an exciting trip around the Golden Road before returning to Stornoway.
Overnight stay at Stornoway
Day 3 - Castaways and coastal splendour...
On your second day on the island, you'll head to the far north of the island to visit the Butt of Lewis lighthouse (the windiest place in the UK) before returning to Stornoway for lunch and to wave goodbye to the island and take the ferry back to the mainland. Once back on the mainland, we’ll make our way to Inverness, our overnight stay.
