The Edge of Europe
The Outer Hebrides — from Lewis and Harris in the north to Barra in the south — are among the most remote and culturally distinct communities in Britain, where Gaelic remains a living language and machair grasslands and Atlantic beaches are unrivalled in Europe.
The Outer Hebrides has an exceptional renewable energy resource — highest wind speeds in Europe, significant tidal potential, and community-owned wind farms that generate income for Hebridean communities. Broadband connectivity has improved dramatically via R100 programme.
