The Western Isles, also known as the Outer Hebrides, are a 130 mile long string of 119 islands. We visit the largest two - Harris and Lewis. A place where the morning papers arrive in the afternoon and almost everything closes down on a Sunday. Blackhouses, standing stones and tweed make for a beguiling Scottish adventure.
