Our Island
Hand pouring products that reflect our island home is the driving force behind everything we do here at Essence of Harris. Our passion, craft and provenance are embedded in the island we are lucky to call home.
Isle of Harris
One of the largest islands situated in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, the Isle of Harris is the southern and more mountainous part of Lewis and Harris. With the natural, rugged beauty of our rocky landscape, soft and picturesque white sand beaches and abundance of stoic wildlife roaming throughout, our island home serves as a constant inspiration for us all.
Home • Heart • Harmony
THE LAND
There is a certain magic on Harris, a magic which emanates from the natural elements of the island. From the vibrant machair which floods the coastline in summer to the rugged hills in the north some of the most beautiful aspects of the island are found in the raw, rugged elements that surround us.
THE SEA
Our lives as islanders are connected to the sea; through the creation of jobs and opportunities, to the abundance of wildlife that live below the waves, and the freedom the sea gives us to stay anchored to life beyond the Hebrides. Its beauty, power and importance will never be dampened.
THE PEOPLE
