50 Berneray Markers is the first in the set of fifty for Berneray accessed here.
Seats Provided at Berneray
Berneray is something of a marker – for it is located at the top end of the southern group of islands which comprise the Uists, Benbecula, Eriskay and Barra, as well as being close to the ferry crossing for Harris. There are 50 ideas in the list below of ‘Explore Berneray’ to illustrate that there is much to see and do. Above all, there is the opportunity to sit back and relax, watching the sky, sea and shore activities in the Sound of Harris, There will be others to share these with, in all probability, for here is the most popular of our hostels.
50 Shades of Howmore is the first in the set of fifty for Howmore accessed here.
The Seat at the Howmore Hostel
The seat at Howmore commemorates the life and contributions to the Gatliff Hostels of the late Arthur Meaby. He followed in the steps of Herbert Gatliff who provided accommodation for those wanting to explore the Western Isles. Sit and note how this hostel is situated in a village well-known for its number of blackhouses and for a variety of ecclesiastical buildings, both ruined and in use. The machair is on one side; the mountains on the other. It’s little wonder that the 50 things to do and see that are listed here give much pleasure to hostellers.
