Isle of Lewis Tour- 3 Sides to 1 Island - Explore Outer Hebrides

We invite you to embark on our uniquely crafted and interactive Hebridean Tour of the Isle of Lewis with three immersive experiences that will captivate your imagination. 3 Sides to 1 Island tour lets you SENSE, EXPERIENCE & CONNECT with the island.

You will SENSE why Harris Tweed® is so iconic with our weaving demonstration, EXPLORE the stunning Hebridean seascapes and then CONNECT with the rich heritage and culture of our beautiful island.

SENSE the sights, sounds, smell and feel of the iconic Harris Tweed®. The first stop on the tour is my loom shed in the village of Vatisker. I demonstrate the process of transforming simple woollen threads to the final woven Harris Tweed®.

EXPLORE my favourite beach on the island, Garry Beach. A glorious expanse of sand comes into view, impressively framed by the soft peaty hills and finished by majestic sea stacs like giants teeth.

CONNECT with Hebridean life, history and culture. Our final stop is Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway where we connect with the rich heritage and culture of the Outer Hebrides.
