North Lochs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Lochs, (Scottish Gaelic: Na Lochan a Tuath), an area in southeast Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, is named for the many lochans (small lochs) which dot the landscape. Because of its largely undulating and rocky terrain, it is sparsely populated apart from flat ground near the coast. Its communities support traditional crofting and fishing.

North Lochs life is centered at the twin villages of Leurbost and Crossbost.
