📌 Village on the Isle of Harris
★
Leverburgh (original, and some would say correct, name: An t-Ob) is the second largest village on Harris, boasting the island’s biggest supermarket, car ferries to Berneray and the Uists, and boat trips to St Kilda. The settlement takes its modern name from English entrepreneur William Lever, who had grand plans to turn the village into the distribution centre for a vast fisheries company: his business empire later became Unilever. The idea never came to fruition, and today’s Leverburgh remains a quiet, scattered place with no clear centre. A restaurant and food van by the harbour provide a couple of options for eating out; also check out the beautiful Harris Millennium Tapestry housed on the upper floor of the supermarket.
