The Lewis and Harris Trail

The Lewis and Harris Trail, launched July 29th, 2023, is a unique community-focused initiative dedicated to promoting the businesses of the Isle of Lewis and Harris. Through its website, the project features ten curated trails showcasing a diverse range of local businesses, from charming accommodations and delightful restaurants to hidden gems and local artisans. The Trail's approach aims to provide a comprehensive guide for visitors, boosting the local economy and highlighting the unique character of the islands. With a growing community of 86 members (82 paid), the project has already achieved notable success, generating an estimated $342 in earnings since launch (ranging from $118 to $2,093 based on Patreon tier pricing). This demonstrates a significant engagement with the project’s vision to connect travelers with the heart of Lewis and Harris. The Trail's unique value lies in its curated approach, offering more than just a list of businesses; it provides a carefully planned itinerary for exploring the islands' rich offerings. This collaborative effort is building a strong community around the shared goal of sustainable tourism and economic growth for the islands.
