There are approximately 27,000 people in the Western Isles and one­third of these 
live in and around the capital town of Stornoway, on the east coast of the Isle of 
Lewis. The town is served by an airport and ferry terminal making it the hub for 
Western Islands’ travel. Stornoway is best known for its world­famous Harris Tweed 
industry, which developed from a Murray tartan commissioned by Lady Dunmore in 
the 1850s. Only wool that has been hand­woven and dyed in the Outer Hebrides is 
permitted to carry the Harris Tweed logo. Other areas of economic activity include 
fishing, tourism, transport and renewable energy. Almost two­thirds of the population 
live on a croft, which is a particular type of smallholding peculiar to the Highlands and 
Islands of Scotland. Crofters are tenants of a small piece of agricultural land, typically 
a few hectares, that usually includes a dwelling which the crofter either owns or rents 
from the landowner. The land must be used for the purposes of crofting, which can 
be described as small­scale mixed farming. Crofting activities include grazing sheep 
(lamb) and to lesser extent cattle (beef), growing potatoes, vegetables and fruit, 
keeping chickens, and cutting peat for burning on the house fire. Crofting can be 
likened to subsistence living, that is to say, living off what you can rear, grow and 
make, with anything spare going to market or shared with the community. Some 
people see crofting as a means of escaping the ‘rat race’ and getting closer to nature, 
though this romanticized view is naive. It is difficult to survive from crofting alone
and most crofters have to supplement their incomes with a part­time job. Crofting
as a way of life has been in decline. However, this trend may be about to reverse,
led by consumer demand for high­quality produce, grown sustainably with the least 
environmental impact.
