Backhill

Backhill occupies a rural stretch on the Atlantic-facing Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. It belongs to an island setting of open moorland, lochs and long coastlines rather than urban centres, where settlements are dispersed and the sea remains a constant presence. Lewis is one of the heartlands of Scottish Gaelic, still evident in local place names and island community life. The prehistoric Calanais Standing Stones, on Lewis’s west side, rank among the Hebrides’ best-known archaeological sites.
