This
is the largest of the southern chain of the Outer Hebrides. It is an
unusual landscape as over a third of the island’s surface is covered by
water. There are a few megalithic sites around the island such as various
standing stones and chambered cairns. The main sites of interest are near
the center of the island, the large chambered tomb at Barpa Langass and
the two stone circles nearby.
