Low tide at Leverburgh, South Harris, Western Isles, Outer Hebrides. Scotland. SCO 6486
Leverburgh is the second largest settlement, after Tarbert, on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides (or Western Isles) of Scotland. Situated on South Harris, the village is superbly placed to serve as a base for a Harris vacation enjoying the multitude of stunning beaches and spectacular scenery all within a short driving distance. Driving along the Harris roads you will notice many lovely coves that are well worth pulling over to enjoy all the more, however, such sights are so common that it can take a considerable amount of time to get across this most wonderful island. If you want to explore more of the Hebrides then Leverburgh is where to catch the ferry over to the Uists. Dotted around Leverburgh, and across Harris and the Hebrides, you will notice numerous ruined buildings. Some are genuine prehistoric sites, some ancient and important buildings while most are derelict black houses which were vacated during the time of the clearances and when the family was able to build a more modern building. Often these buildings were converted for use by livestock but, sadly, most are little more than low lying walls.
