Sailing to theOuter Hebrides Scotland

Sailing to the outer Hebrides in Scotland you’re going to find some very interesting things besides just sheep. The roads are narrow, the wind is strong, the weather can be tough but you can find a lot of tranquility as well. Located here is the famous Harris Tweed and some other things you would not expect. The towns are small but you can enjoy the big hearted hospitality of the people here.

A recruitment sign for the Hebrides
People are leaving the islands so now they want to recruit people to come and live there so the areas do not just die out. You will find quite a few abandoned homes which is not a good sign but don’t let that spoil the beauty of the Hebrides.

The famous brand of the islands. There are hundreds of people, companies and private individuals, creating tweets for resale and shipment all over the world. A lot of the material is used to produce something in another country and then shipped for export.
