South Harris & Sgarasta Mhòr Beach

 

Sgarasta Mhòr Beach

Harris (Scottish GaelicNa Hearadhpronounced [nə ˈhɛɾəɣ] (audio speaker iconlisten)) is the southern and more mountainous part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island in the Outer HebridesScotland


The southern part of Harris is less mountainous, with numerous unspoilt, white sandy beaches on the west coast. Its main settlements are Rodel (Roghadal), known for its medieval kirk of St. Clement (Eaglais Chliamhain), the most elaborate surviving medieval church in the Hebrides after Iona Abbey, and Leverburgh (An Tòb na Hearadh or An t-Òb na Hearadh). A ferry sails from the latter to Berneray (Beàrnaraigh na Hearadh), an island off the coast of North Uist (Uibhist a Tuath), to which it is joined by a causeway.
