The interior of Lewis and Harris is a landscape of hills, burns, lochs and blanket peat, and it changes character completely between the two islands. Lewis is low, wide and open, with more than a thousand lochs scattered across the moor. Harris rises into real mountains in the north, with the Clisham at 799 metres the highest point in the Outer Hebrides.
These photographs cover both, across the seasons. Our pages on the geology of the Western Isles and on the lochs of Lewis explain how the ground came to look like this.
