The heart of Òran na Mara is its open-plan living, kitchen, dining, and snug area, designed to make the most of the surrounding scenery. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows showcase stunning views in every direction — to the south, the village of Scarista and the valley revealing the islands in the Sound of Harris; to the west, the golden sands of Scarista Beach and the dramatic Toe Head; and to the northwest, the island of Taransay and the rugged North Harris hills. The ever-changing light creates a mesmerising palette of colours across the sea and sky, offering spectacular sunsets for much of the year.
