Text moved from main article. No conclusive evidence at the External Link about Harris flag. Google throws little up either.

(I would suggest the person who removed the Harris, North Uist and Benbecula flags restore them. These three flags are well established.)

  • I check the FOTW website, the below Harris flag is not mentioned and they cited us for having the flag of Lewis. I can try to redraw the images of the flagds, if it is really needed. Zach (Sound Off) 04:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

All Hebridean flags were definitely featured on the original Virtual Hebrides site, which I think, pre-dates Flags of the World. Unfortunately that site is now defunct.

[edit] Single track roads?

What's so remarkable about Harris having single track roads? They're all over the Highlands and Islands! I, on mainland Scotland, have to drive 40 miles on one before I can get to anything that approximates to civilisation. Lianachan 19:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. I considered deleting it, but decided to amend it instead. Ben MacDui 15:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map

The map here doesn't look quite right - it seems to show only South Harris, which is the area below Tarbert (where the island narrows), and not North Harris, which is a similar sized area to the north. See [1] for example. See also the map at Lewis. Interplanet Janet 12:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I suspect you are right (well spotted). However, I'm not sure how to fix it. It probably needs raising at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. -- Solipsist 12:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I've fixed the images based on [2]. Interplanet Janet 10:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
