Hebrides Accommodation
Welcome to Hebrides Accommodation from Enjoy Hebrides, your new gateway to the Inner Hebrides & Outer Hebrides/Western Isles of Scotland.
The Hebrides really are something special, they are certainly unique. The Hebrides are a group of islands on the absolute western periphery of Europe and as such are very remote. Situated off the west coast of Scotland the Hebrides are split into two groups, the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides, by a treacherous stretch of water known as the Minch. So treacherous is the water around the Outer Hebrides myths and legends abound and the most interesting is about the Blue Men of Ness which we may look at at a later date. The Outer Hebrides are also widely known as the Western Isles and consist of a great many small islands and a few larger ones which are inhabited. The main islands of the Outer Hebrides are the Isle of Lewis, Isle of Harris, North and South Uist and Barra. The Inner Hebrides include the Isle of Sky, Mull, Iona and many more. Each year many visitors enjoy the practice known as 'island hopping' in which the tourist visits a selection of islands in the Hebrides. Some people (mainly students) choose to go backpacking or cycling but most visitors choose far more luxurious Hebrides accommodation such as found in the Hebrides hotels and guest houses. Some people, especially families, choose to stay in self catering accommodation which offers excellent accommodation in a variety of different types of building ranging from a typical Hebridean house to a traditional blackhouse.

More About The Hebrides
One of the most popular places in the Outer Hebrides is the area around Carlabhagh (Carloway) on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. Dùn Chàrlabhaigh (Dun Carloway) is an iron age Broch found about 2km from Carlabhagh itself. A Broch is a type of building, found only in Scotland, which is a twin walled (or hollow-walled) drystone structure the purpose of which has intrigued archaeologists who continue to formulate new theories. One thing they all argree on is that Dùn Chàrlabhaigh (shown right) is one of the finest examples. The Hebrides have a mass of really important sites and one of the most spectacular is just down the road from the Broch, the Neolithic Calanais standing stones, amongst the most important stone circles in Europe. Set in the most beautiful of surroundings the standing stones are a series of slabs, of the local stone called gneiss (the oldest stone on the planet), standing up to 15 ft in height.
