Western Isles Calendar 2006

The Western Isles or Outer Hebrides (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) stretch for about 130 miles from Barra Head to the Butt of Lewis. The striking scenery, Gaelic culture and varied islands sets them apart from other parts of Scotland. There are many sites of interest as well as wonderful wild flowers in summer.

We publish calendars annually of the following areas: Orkney, Shetland, Western Isles and Caithness. The calendars are 23x23cm with 12 pictures plus cover. As usual the calendars are widely available in each area, but may be ordered direct, either via email charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk, telephone or fax. Retail price is £4.50 per calendar plus UK postage and packing of £1. Overseas post and packaging is extra at cost (US, Canada and Australia $10US including airmail). Payment by Visa or Mastercard is preferred. We can also send calendars directly to friends or relatives if you wish.
