Business

Traditional industries such as fishing, crofting and textiles (Harris Tweed is from the island of Harris) are still found in Eilean Siar, but have been joined by services and tourism providing for both residents and the large numbers of visitors to the islands.

The arrival of broadband internet has very quickly turned into an opportunity to promote the islands as a great place to live and work from home and for service based businesses such as call centres.
