Built in around 1880, No.42 Arnol gives a special insight into island life. This blackhouse was once the residence of a Hebridean crofting family and their animals, who moved out in 1966, and today it is preserved almost as the family left it.

Tuck away in the north west of the island, with giant sand dunes and golden sand this beach makes the perfect spot to watch sunsets over the sea. There's also an outdoor assault course with a zip line, it's meant to be for the kids, but we love playing on it as well.

Great nature spot with walkways through the woods.
Originally planned to be a road from Tolsta to Ness, building the bridge is as far as they got.
But for the more intrepid walker, there is a walking route over to Ness, with an abandoned village on route.

周邊交通資訊
Having a car is the easiest way to travel around the island.
There are bus services around the island, but it's much more convenient to use your own car to travel around.
風俗和文化
Local Sunday traditions
The island observes Sunday as their Sabbath day and you'll find that all the shops, bars and petrol stations are closed and that there are only a few restaurants open. So it's best to plan ahead for Sunday's and make sure you have bought what you'll need on Saturday.
It's also frowned upon to hang out you washing on a Sunday, or play loud music outdoors.
But feel free to visiting parts of the island and go for walks.
