Things to do in Isle of Harris, Scotland: The Best Museums

December 14, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Meadows, lochs, moorlands, castles—the Isle of Harris packs all of the Scottish signatures into one punch. The east side of Harris boasts some of the oldest known rocks in the world, dating back millions of years. On the west side, white sand beaches are caressed by gray-green waters that are perfect for surfing. Cruise over to the volcanic islands of St. Kilda and explore the ruins of a medieval village. The Harris Outdoor Adventure Centre offers kayaking, sailing, windkarting and mountain biking excursions to suit all levels of experience.

Holmasaig Gallery

Reviewed By Dileas12

Margarita has opened again and it was a delight to make an appointment to view her huge range of work; there really is something for everyone here, and our teenage son was impressed with the variety of media, subject and style. She is charming and her gallery is intimate and cosy. We bought a Japanese woodcut of St Kilda. We’ll treasure it.

The Mission House Studio

Welcome to The Mission House Studio, the studioand gallery of Beka Globe - Photographer and Nickolai Globe - Ceramic Artist. In the studio, overlooking the desolate and stunning rocky landscape of Harris, Beka’s stark photographs float off the stone walls, suspended by high tensile wires. Nickolai’s ceramics range from functional stoneware to abstract sculptural work. They are displayed on furniture, fashioned from the old timbers and reclaimed materials from the Church conversion. Music reverberates through the space. The photographic work of Beka Globe, a traditionally trained photographer, captures the both the subtle and harsh elements of the Hebridean landscape. Finding an emotive vastness, depth and simplicity, her silent images are moving, stirring a particular sense of place. The ceramic works of Nickolai Globe are influenced directly by the environment of the rugged North West. Drawing from elements of Zen and the unpredictable, his work reflects rather than emulates nature.

Stefan Davis, a local photographer, has his gallery in a yurt beside his house where you can sit by the stove and look at his wonderful photos whilst drinking excellent coffee and eating superb cake. The coffee and cake are free for a donation to go to worthwhile charities. We both bought photographs which captured the magic beauty of Harris.
