Harris is the southern part of the Scottish Hebridean island of Lewis and Harris. It’s known for sandy beaches like Luskentyre and Scarista on the west coast, and for rugged mountains in the north. In the east is an area of miniature fjords called the Bays. The 16th-century St. Clement’s Church in the village of Rodel has 3 richly carved tombs. Harris is also the original home of Harris Tweed, luxury handwoven cloth.
Isle of Harris is the southern and more mountainous part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Although not an island itself, Harris is often referred to as the Isle of Harris, which is the former postal county and the current post town for Royal Mail postcodes starting HS3 or HS5; see HS postcode area. A person from Harris is known as a Hearach. Rockall, an uninhabited islet is deemed to be part of the parish. It is 230 miles (370 km) west of North Uist.
Harris divides naturally into northern and southern parts which are separated by West and East Loch Tarbert. These halves are joined by a narrow isthmus at the main settlement of Tarbert (An Tairbeart or Tairbeart na Hearadh). The bedrock of Harris is largely Lewisian gneisses, which were laid down in the Precambrian period, interspersed with igneous intrusions. One of these intrusions forms the summit plateau of the mountain Roinebhal. The rock here is anorthosite, and is similar in composition to rocks found in the mountains of the Moon.
North Harris, adjoining Lewis, contains Clisham (An Cliseam), the highest mountain in the Outer Hebrides at 799 metres (2,621 ft). The southern part of Harris is less mountainous, with numerous unspoilt, white sandy beaches on the west coast. Its main settlements are Rodel (Roghadal), known for its medieval kirk of St. Clement (Eaglais Chliamhain), the most elaborate surviving medieval church in the Hebrides after Iona Abbey, and Leverburgh
Tarbert is the main port and main settlement of Harris, with a population of about 550. The name Tarbert comes from the Norse tairbeart meaning portage or isthmus. It is located on an isthmus between Loch Tarbert and West Loch Tarbert. The island of Scalpay is located at the mouth of East Loch Tarbert. It was known historically for its fishing industry, though little of that remains. The island was linked to Harris when the Scalpay Bridge was opened in 1997, connecting Scalpay to the settlement of Kyles on Harris.
In common with many parts of the Highlands and Islands Harris has numerous single-track roads with passing places at intervals. Ferries sail from Tarbert to Uig in Skye. Harris is also known for Harris tweed, although this is mostly now made in Lewis.

Music from the Western Isles - Beanntan na Hearadh
The Harris Hills in the Outer Hebrides may not be as high or outwardly spectacular as the Cuillins, but their geological origin is much more ancient - and their weathered and uncompromising aspect, together with their unspoilt remoteness, gives them a feeling of other-worldliness, timelessness and solitude.
The North Harris Range (which includes the Uig and Park hills in Lewis) was intruded into the even more ancient Lewisian Gneiss around 1.7 billion years ago - towards the end of the Laxfordian Event.
The origin of the hills in South Harris is different - it is a complex region of various (now largely metamorphosed) igneous rocks formed around 2.2 billion years ago (and called The South-Harris Igneous Complex). This produced a starkly beautiful rocky, almost alien, landscape - best seen along the so-called Golden Road on the east side of the island.
This tune is a celebration of the hills - their majesty, mystery and loneliness. It is in the style of an urlar and simple variation for a contemporary Ceol Mor tune.
Ceol Mor, sometimes (and mistakenly) called piobaireachd (which actually means piping of any type in Gaelic), is the original music of the highland pipe (as opposed to the dance-music and marches, most often heard today, but introduced much later). It is one of the most important types of Gaelic music, consisting of long, subtle and beautiful melodies, sometimes of 10 to 20 minutes in length. Its greatest exponents were the MacCrimmon Clan of Skye, who where active mostly between the 16th and 19th centuries (and whose lands are easy visible from Harris). It consists of a basic melody called the Urlar and then a set of other related developments of this - these may include variations and/or (more usually) progressively more complex ornamentations of the basic tune. Although many Ceol Mor pieces have an underlying rhythmic backbone, they are usually played fairly freely, not in strict time (similarly to many traditional Gaelic songs).
In this case, the Urlar consists of two lines, each repeated and an optional one line (again repeated) variation. Other sections from the standard development types can be added by the player as desired. The tune is here played on the Scottish Small Pipes with a gentle chordal accompaniment (to hear it in all its glory, it should, of-course, be played solo on the Great Highland Pipe - preferably on a isolated Harris mountain-top with a spectacular view as night falls and the mist starts to roll in).
The pictures and time-lapse videos are of the Harris Hills and their companions in the South of Lewis.

Places to see in ( Isle of Iona - UK )
Isle of Iona is a small island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland. It was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for four centuries and is today known for its relative tranquility and natural environment. It is a tourist destination and a place for spiritual retreats. Its modern Gaelic name means Iona of (Saint) Columba (formerly anglicised Icolmkill).
Iona lies about 2 kilometres (1 mi) from the coast of Mull. It is about 2 kilometres (1 mi) wide and 6 kilometres (4 mi) long with a resident population of 125. The geology of the island consists mainly of Precambrian Lewisian gneiss with Torridonian sedimentary rocks on the eastern side and small outcrops of pink granite on the eastern beaches. Like other places swept by ocean breezes, there are few trees; most of them are near the parish church.
Iona's highest point is Dùn Ì, 101 metres (331 ft), an Iron Age hill fort dating from 100 BC – AD 200. Iona's geographical features include the Bay at the Back of the Ocean and Càrn Cùl ri Éirinn (the Hill/Cairn of [turning the] Back to Ireland), said to be adjacent to the beach where St. Columba first landed.
The main settlement, located at St. Ronan's Bay on the eastern side of the island, is called Baile Mòr and is also known locally as The Village. The primary school, post office, the island's two hotels, the Bishop's House and the ruins of the Nunnery are here. The Abbey and MacLeod Centre are a short walk to the north. Port Bàn (white port) beach on the west side of the island is home to the Iona Beach Party.
Iona Abbey, now an ecumenical church, is of particular historical and religious interest to pilgrims and visitors alike. It is the most elaborate and best-preserved ecclesiastical building surviving from the Middle Ages in the Western Isles of Scotland. Though modest in scale in comparison to medieval abbeys elsewhere in Western Europe, it has a wealth of fine architectural detail, and monuments of many periods. The 8th Duke of Argyll presented the sacred buildings and sites of the island to the Iona Cathedral trust in 1899.
In front of the Abbey stands the 9th century St Martin's Cross, one of the best-preserved Celtic crosses in the British Isles, and a replica of the 8th century St John's Cross (original fragments in the Abbey museum). Visitors can reach Iona by the 10-minute ferry trip across the Sound of Iona from Fionnphort on Mull. The most common route is via Oban in Argyll and Bute. Regular ferries connect to Craignure on Mull, from where the scenic road runs 37 miles (60 kilometres) to Fionnphort. Tourist coaches and local bus services meet the ferries.
