    Isle of Lewis

    The Isle of Lewis forms the northern part of the Outer Hebrides, shaped by open Atlantic coastline, peat moorland, and wide, exposed horizons. Light and weather shift quickly, often defining the character of the landscape more than elevation. The island offers strong coastal scenes, inland lochs, and atmosphere-driven compositions throughout the year.
