These islands in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland have a barren charm that is alluring to those walk there shores. Hardiness is a trail of the land, the people who have been scarred by the elements, by the clearances, by a language and culture misunderstood by those who we elected to protect them. Central to its inhabitants is the natural environment, whether its working the land and sea or a traditional job in textiles or modern professions, its inhabitant’s transverse nature on a daily basis. Many visit the islands for its beauty, remoteness and the outdoor activities it can offer with ease.
