Vatisker.Tours We invite you to embark on our 3 Sides to 1 Island
- SENSE EXPLORE CONNECT - Hebridean Tour of the Isle of Lewis with three immersive experiences that will captivate your imagination. SENSE the sights,
sounds, smell and feel
of the iconic Harris Tweed® at the first stop on the tour at my loom shed in the village of Vatisker where I demonstrate the process of transforming
simple woollen threads to the final woven Harris Tweed®. EXPLORE takes us to my favourite beach on the island, Garry Beach. Here we breathe in the sea
air, explore the area around the magnificent sea stacks and view the bridge that leads to nowhere! Finally, heading back to Stornoway we CONNECT with
Hebridean life, history and culture in the beautiful surroundings of Lews Castle where Museum nan Eilean is located and where the world-famous Lewis
Chessmen are on display. We finish by taking in the splendour and opulence of the Castle itself before we take you to your drop-off point. Having spent
the day with a local and being immersed in Hebridean life we take home a photo souvenir and perhaps even a word or two we have learnt in Gaelic!
