"The Island of Scalpay "Rather I had thought of it as a place of beauty so great as to distinguish it even among the long chain of which each individual island is a brilliant jewel"
Gavin Maxwell - 'Harpoon at a Venture'.
Scalpay is a thriving fishing community and the harbour is a hive of activity during the day with boats in various stages of arrival and departure. Hirta House (as seen on the image to the left) enjoys an elevated position with sea views, spacious interior and a high standard of decor. |
 Master bedroom available. Four poster and six foot Queen size beds and all bedrooms are ensuite. |  There is an extensive library with a wide range of antiquarian and modern books to browse. |
 Hirta House conservatory | The Shiant Isles lie ten miles off-shore. The islands have had an increased media profile recently due to the publication of the book "Sea Room" by the owner Adam Nicolson. Day trips to the islands can be arranged in favourable weather. Porpoises, seals and puffins can be seen on the journey. There really is lots to do and, after an eventful day, you may enjoy relaxing in the conservatory reading one of the many books in our library (pictured above). Before finally retiring for the evening you may find yourself witness to one of the spectacular sunsets that the islands are often blessed with. |
On the east coast of the island is Eilean Glas lighthouse which was erected in 1788 and was the only lighthouse in the Western Isles for many years. The lighthouse is now fully automated. The keepers houses, which were built of Aberdeen Granite by Robert Louis Stevenson's Grandfather, remain intact. A breathtaking view of the vista of the Isle of Skye, Uist and the Mainland can be seen from the lighthouse. |  Harris has some of the finest beaches in the world. |
