| Scarista Studios | |
| David and Janet Miles have lived at Scarista for over 30 years. They are both well regarded and much exhibited artists whose work reflects their many years spent living and working in Harris. David's work can be seen at www.milespaintings.co.uk. We have a profound respect for his work and have several of his paintings in the house, including one over the drawing room fireplace. |  |

| Harris Golf Club Play a virtual round (almost) at www.harrisgolf.com. A great wee course in truly spectacular surroundings. Nick Faldo has played the course, and the signed fiver he left in the honesty box has been framed by the club and is competed for each year. We keep a half set of clubs at the house for the use of the guests. |

| Boat trips The view from the sea gives a wonderful new perspective on island life and wildlife. Andrew and Alison Johnson (01859 520204) are the people who converted Scarista House into a hotel, and they now run boat trips on the Petrel in the Sound of Harris. They are incredibly knowledgeable about local topography and wildlife. Click here for their website On the East side of the island Hamish Taylor (01859 5301310) is a fund of knowledge about island history and lore. Nosing in and out of the bays, Hamish points out deserted villages and isolated houses, and can usually tell you the name and story of the people who lived in them. He has a website at www.scenic-cruises.co.uk Angus MacKay (07747 842218) runs day trips to his beautiful island of Taransay, setting for the famous BBC Castaway2000 series. Another fabulous trip is with Kilda Cruises, who operate trips to St Kilda, the Shiants, the Flannan Isles and the Monach Isles. More information on what they offer and where can be found on their website: www.kildacruises.co.uk We have been out with all these operators, who are all licensed and carry a full safety inventory. We are happy to recommend any or all of them. |  |
Nothing
Always a good option - spend the day on the beach with a packed lunch, come back ravenous for dinner, sleep soundly, and wake up refreshed. |
