Staying on the beach for the whole of my summer vacation isn't my idea of the perfect vacation. Please do not get the wrong idea, I often spend time relaxing on a sunny beach, but, I also like to travel a little inland too. I like to soak in the atmosphere, I also like to experience the local culture and especially enjoy sampling the food. If the truth be known each year I like to experience something new and I try very hard attempting to find somewhere or something 100% unique. This is why, most probably, I enjoy visiting the Hebridean island named the Isle of Harris and why I often decide to stay in a self catering cottage on Harris.
Harris is a small island found just off the Scottish west coast. The Isle of Harris is only one of over 300 of small islands commonly known as the Outer Hebrides, although strictly speaking the UK postal address is the Western Isles. Known as either the Western Isles or the Outer Hebrides the islands are extremely beautiful and fascinatingly unique. For those folk who simple can't do without a sandy beach Harris has a multitude to choose from and virtually all are wonderful and often deserted. It sometimes feels as though beyond twist you are met by an awesome sight. The roads on the Isle of Harris are not the same as elsewhere in Scotland and the United Kingdom in some areas the roads are single track and you will have to, at times, use passing places to safely let oncoming traffic past and also let traffic from behind to pass too. Just remember to pull over to the left of the road. However, if you are faced with a large vehicle wishing to get past you and the passing place is on your right hand side you may carefully pull over into to it to allow the big vehicle pass more easily but be careful not to drive off the edge of the road too much.
One of the main reasons people travel to the Isle of Harris is to enjoy the islands landscape and culture. The Harris culture has, over 100's of years been incredibly influenced by the Celtic, Norse, Scottish and English races. These days the majority of folk speak in the Gaelic language and although many speak English, it is most commonly their second language. The people of the Isle of Harris are amongst the friendliest on our planet and the hospitality is known across the globe. The people of the Isle of Harris are incredibly proud of the amazingly beautiful Harris countryside and go to great lengths to keep the island very tidy so it is immensely important to minimise your own mess.
On the Isle of Harris you will discover some of the finest beaches in all of Scotland, and it could be said the whole of the United Kingdom. You will, most probably, notice how crystal clear the waters are and it is a fact that the beaches on Harris are lovely and clean. Annoyingly there is no way to avoid debris washing up from Atlantic shipping but happily there isn't much.
