Walking holiday in Scotland on The Hebridean Way
north section Via North Uist, Berneray, Harris and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides
We offer the north section of The Hebridean Way as a 77 mile way-marked
walking trail. The route can be walked in either direction but our suggested
itinerary is from south to north as described in the Cicerone guide book.
This
self guided Scottish walking holiday in Scotland's Outer Hebrides crosses
4 islands linked by 1 ferry. The Hebridean Way passes through rugged hills,
along dazzling white shell beaches and across miles and miles of open moorland.
Some days you walk-in and walk-out of your accommodations. Some days you
are transferred to your accommodation from the end of your walking stage
and transferred back the following morning.
