Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Harris

The Harris Tweed & Knitwear exhibition "Clo Mor"(Big Garment in Gaelic) offers an interesting retrospective of the local tweed industry and its journey through time. Between photographs and edutainment spaces, the visit is suitable for all ages. Models present clothing of all types and all eras, showing how Harris Tweed was honoured on the world's catwalks. It is possible to attend weaving demonstrations.

Founded in October 2015, this recent distillery has entered the whisky world with a brand new building and about twenty jobs at stake. If the single malt will not be ready right away, a gin is already available. There is a café-bar and a shop. They are as much a discovery of production techniques and the work of the distillers as a sensory awakening to the scents of the spirits and the many aromatic plants that make up gin.

This information centre specialises in the history of the inhabitants of the Outer Hebrides and their genealogy. A permanent exhibition deals with the island population and its land from Prehistory to the present day. It tells how communities were formed and suggests avenues for study. Occasional events and temporary exhibitions take place throughout the year on a variety of themes. You will also find a very friendly bar and café on site, as well as a small shop selling local handicrafts.
