Point is the name given to the Eye Peninsula east of Stornoway, a crofting district connected to the Lewis mainland by a narrow neck of land.

The area includes several townships and has views across the harbour to Stornoway and across the Minch to the mainland.

Properties range from traditional croft houses to modern family homes, with the area's proximity to Stornoway making it a popular residential choice.

Point has a primary school, a community centre and a coastline dotted with small beaches and rocky inlets.

The Outer Hebrides (Na h-Eileanan Siar) are a chain of islands stretching 130 miles off Scotland's north-west coast, from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Barra and Vatersay in the south.

Stornoway on Lewis is the only town of any size and serves as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the islands. The rest of the population is spread across crofting townships and small villages on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra - communities connected by causeways, single-track roads and inter-island ferries.

The islands are the heartland of Scottish Gaelic language and culture. Gaelic is spoken as an everyday language here to a degree found nowhere else in Scotland and the traditions of crofting, weaving, fishing and storytelling remain central to island life. Harris Tweed - handwoven in the homes of islanders from locally dyed wool - is a globally recognised fabric and a vital part of the local economy.

The landscape is extraordinary: white shell-sand beaches on the Atlantic coast, ancient standing stones at Callanish, the mountainous terrain of Harris, the flat machair grasslands of the Uists and some of the darkest skies in Europe. Wildlife - sea eagles, otters, seals and vast seabird colonies - draws naturalists from around the world.

CalMac ferries connect the islands to the mainland from Ullapool, Uig on Skye and Oban, while Loganair flights serve Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra - where the beach at Traigh Mhor famously serves as the runway. Despite the remoteness, the islands have a strong and self-reliant community life shaped by faith, Gaelic culture and the rhythms of the sea.
