Officially launched in 2017, the Hebridean Way offers walkers the
opportunity to experience the magic of Scotland's Outer Hebrides in
one inspirational journey. The waymarked route stretches 247km (155
miles) from Vatersay to Stornaway, linking ten major islands of the
archipelago by means of causeways and two ferry crossings:
Vatersay, Barra, Eriskay, South Uist, Benbecula, Grimsay, North
Uist, Berneray, Harris and Lewis. Suitable for most walkers with a
moderate level of fitness, it can be completed in 8-14 days and is
rich in natural, historical and cultural interest. This guidebook
presents the Hebridean Way in 10 stages of 16-35km (10-22 miles),
plus two additional stages to extend the route to the Butt of Lewis
in line with future plans. Detailed route description is
accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping, stunning photography to whet
your appetite and a wealth of information about local points of
interest. The introduction offers an overview of the islands'
geology, history, plants and wildlife as well as comprehensive
practical advice for walking the route, such as when to go, how to
get there (and back) and what to take. Accommodation listings can
be found in the appendices. The route is a celebration of the
diverse landscapes of the Hebrides, from dazzling white shell
beaches to wild moorland and flower-strewn machair. It visits
Neolithic and Bronze Age remains, ruined forts and castles and
monuments commemorating Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Highland Land
Struggle. The islands are also a great location to spot seabirds,
raptors and a number of migratory species.
