Places to Visit around the Isle of Lewis

H.T.T. (Manufacturing) are the last remaining independent wholesale producers of Harris Tweed based located in Carloway, Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
Located off the North West Coast of Scotland these rugged islands offer our designers an endless source of inspiration for colour matching the new yarn blends for our seasonal collections.
Our small size gives us the flexibility to work closely with major design houses on exclusive commercial collections while assisting the local craft industry and independent weavers produce one off and small runs as required. 

Our brand new visitor centre will be opening in 2008 in the village of Carloway on the West side of Lewis.  View the processes involved in the manufacture of this world famous material, including a traditional loom.   Coffee shop and Harris Tweed products for sale.

This part of the island has some of the finest beaches, so combine a walk on the sands with a visit to us!

Great Bernara is a small island connected to Lewis by a bridge on the B8059.  At Bosta in the north west, the island has a wonderful beach, and an 'iron age' village. One of the Iron Age houses has been superbly rebuilt, and entry is available during the summer.  The island also has its own museum and cafe at Braclete, situated within the community centre.  The island has many antiquities including standing stones, duns and a restored Norse Mill.

Both Lewis and Harris have superb beaches on their western shores. Locations of the beaches are on the large islands map. One notable beach is at Uig, not just because of its extensive golden sands, but also because of a discovery of a Viking Chess set in a small stone chamber at the edge of the Beach. Inside were 93 Chess pieces made of Morse Ivory, from the husks of Walrus teeth. The pieces were probably crafted in Trondheim Norway.
