[[File:Scotland relief location map.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Lewis and Harris top left]] '''Lewis and Harris'''<ref>[[Scottish Gaelic]]: '''Leòdhas agus na Hearadh'''</ref> in the [[Outer Hebrides]] make up the largest island in [[Scotland]]. With an area of {{convert|2177|km2|sqmi|0}}, this is the largest single island of the [[British Isles]] after [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]]. The northern part of the island is called [[Lewis]], the southern is Harris and both are frequently referred to as if they were separate islands. The boundary between Lewis and Harris is formed by a line with Loch Resort on the west and Loch Seaforth on the east. The main town is [[Stornoway]] in Lewis. The island does not have a common name in either English or [[Scottish Gaelic]] and is referred to as 'Lewis and Harris'. Until 1975, Lewis belonged to the county of [[Ross and Cromarty]] and Harris to [[Inverness]]-shire. The entire island group now belongs to the Western Isles Council.<ref>Comhairle nan Eilean Siar</ref> The island is the ancestral homeland of the [[Highland]] Clan MacLeod, and the Clan Morrison. == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Outer Hebrides]] {{UK-stub}}
