The name Hebrides comes from the Norse word Havbrødøy- island on the edge of the sea. The Hebridean archipeligo flanks Scotland's north western edge and the island of Lewis and Harris is the largest and most northly of the group. The Decca is in the village of Lionel in the area of Lewis known as Ness and is indeed on the edge of the sea- sitting at the extreme north-western tip of Europe. It is 27 miles west and north of Stornway up an excellent road that passes through small villages and wild moorland with constant glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean and fabulous beaches on the way. (Keep your eyes peeled for Golden Eagles as they are regularly sighted along this road.)
