Gravir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gravir (Grabhair in Scottish Gaelic), is a village on the shore of Loch Odhairn (a sea loch) in the Park district of the Isle of Lewis. There is a church, a school and a voluntary fire station in the village. There is also a pier. Most of the plots of land used to be used for crofting, but this has declined in the last 50 years. The road leading to the village is the B8060, and continues on to Orinsay and Lemreway.
Gravir Pier is primarily used by fish farming vessels but is also used by small fishing and leisure craft. The fish farms in Loch Odhairn are run by Fjord Seafood Scotland Ltd.
