  If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands.Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland.The land is not good for farming.It’s only good for keeping sheep.The winters are long, cold, and wet.It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.

  They’re not for everyone, however.Even summer days are cool and often windy.The water is too cold for swimming.There are no forests, and there are only a few trees and green fields.Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants.The hills, too, are just piles of rocks.Sometimes the view looks like pictures of the moon.

  But there is beauty in this place.From the beach you can often see all the way to the rocky hills.From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean.The colors, too, are special.Blue is everywhere.It’s in the sky and in the ocean.It is in the tiny flowers that grow on the hills.In the spring there is also green in the hills.In the summer and fall the hills are more purple.Often the air is soft and gray with clouds and rain.

  On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world.The evenings are quiet.The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife.Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed and Breakfast.This is the best way to learn about life on the islands.The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk.

  If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs(酒吧)or even the shops.People are in no hurry here.They like to chat about the weather or the fishing.There are also some tourist shops, but not many.They sell the usual tourist things.They also sell some beautiful clothes made of wool from the islands.

  Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping.Come to walk in the clean, cool air.Come for the quiet beauty and for the views.
