Ferries to Leverburgh, Scotland

Leverburgh is the Isle of Harris’ second largest village, and it can be found in the Outer Hebrides.

Until 1921 Leverburgh was known as An t-Ob (Obbe), but when the village became more than a small settlement the name was changed. This was when Lord Leverhume (who founded the famous Unilever company) purchased the entire Isle of Harris and set about transforming it into a thriving fishing economy comprising of a huge herring processing business. Unfortunately, Lord Leverhume died in 1925 and his dream was never realised.
