Outer Hebrides

Amhuinnsuidhe is a remote settlement on the west coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The name translates roughly to "sitting by the river" or "river seat," referring to its position beside a river that flows into the sea.It's most famous for Amhuinnsuidhe Castle, a stunning 19th-century baronial-style country house (often called a castle) built in 1867–1868 for the Earl of Dunmore. Designed by architect David Bryce, it's a Category A listed building,

It has a Dramatic location overlooking Loch Leosavay, with views toward the island of Taransay and beautiful white-sand beaches (including nearby Hushinish).

HWW ! a large view recommended!
