Activities
There is so much to see, do and experience on Harris and Lewis!
Ceilidh
Ceilidh is the Gaelic word for gathering, or social visit.
Many assume it is a traditional dance party, however it can also involve storytelling and singing.
There is a beautifully renovated Sail Loft at Rodel and makes the perfect venue for a Ceilidh.
A memorable evening could include an accordion player, Scottish dancers or a storyteller, to immerse yourself in this beautiful, gentle culture.
