Scalpay is a small island off the east coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and is only 10 minutes drive from Tarbert which is the centre of Harris.

Harris is mainly rocky, mountainous terrain, differing from the other islands in the archipelago of the Hebrides.

There are excellent waymarked walks throughout Harris, including one on Scalpay. These walks vary in levels of difficulty and duration.

The island's income comes mainly from fishing and many families have their own fishing boats.

Scalpay is a quiet, friendly island and a stay here will do you the world of good - the fresh sea air, the history, scenery and welcome will become memories which will never leave you.
