The Galson area's way of life is about the intricate interaction between a crofting lifestyle, a panoramic landscape and a diverse natural environment. The area boasts fantastic coastal scenery and white sands; large Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas; a variety of flora and fauna including golden eagles, fulmars and gannets; excellent sea and fresh water fishing; and, most importantly, a kindly, 'down-to-earth' community that works together to bring about a better future for themselves and future generations.

 

The Galson area maintains strong links with the international Gaelic community and is at the forefront of progressing Gaelic culture and arts.

 

The Galson area incorporates over 56,000 acres of North West Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides.
