Without question the best way to explore the many sites and facilities of the Outer Hebrides is to hire a car take a drive and be mesmerized by the scenery and culture of these beautiful islands. We have compiled a brief description of the islands for visitors who hire our vehicles, so that they can experience the best of the Outer Hebrides. We have also included some recommended places to visit, to stay and to experience. Leaving from either Stornoway Airport or Stornoway Ferry Terminal a complete round tour of the Island can be made in a  few days, however when you start to notice the landscape, the culture and the unspoiled beauty, maybe you should hire a vehicle for a few months!

The Isle of Lewis is the northernmost of the group of Islands. Lewis is steeped in history and culture, and the Gaelic language is still very much alive, maybe more particularly in the rural corners of Lewis. The world famous Callanish Stones are a 30 minute drive from the centre of  Stornoway, which is the largest town on the Outer Hebrides. The people of Lewis are by their nature very welcoming and very committed to their homeland. They as a people are known for their homing instincts as many a “Leodhsach” will always find his way home from wherever he resides and works across the Isle.
