The isles of Harris & Lewis are steeped in culture and tradition, from the widely-spoken Gaelic language to the music and storytelling that are so closely intertwined with it.
There's also an impressive range of arts, crafts and other forms of creative expression by those who live and have lived on Harris and Lewis. Inspired - no doubt - by their stunning surroundings, their creations can be seen all around the island, from the world-famous Harris Tweed to smaller galleries like Cliff Studio, it's always worth dropping by to learn about the people behind the artwork and the processes they use to create their products.
Listen, look and learn when you're here - you won't regret it. Speak to locals, visit museums and go to ceilidhs, if you can. An Lanntair arts centre in Stornoway is a great place to start.
