Harris

Harris

Harris is not an island, despite usually being talked of as if it is. Rather it's the southern third of the largest and most northerly of the Western Isles, most of which forms Lewis. Some say the distinction between the two dates back to a split in the MacLeod clan which dominated the Western Isles for centuries. Others simply point to the range of high mountains that impeded land access between Lewis and Harris, turning them into virtually separate islands. For more information and photographs, see the Harris Feature Page.
