The Outer Hebrides sometimes also known as the Western Isles and the
Long Island, and as Innse Gall in Gaelic is an island chain off the west coast
of mainland Scotland. The islands are geographically conterminous with
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, one of the 32 unitary council areas of Scotland.
They form part of the Hebrides, separated from the Scottish mainland and from
the Inner Hebrides by the waters of the Minch, the Little Minch and the Sea of
the Hebrides. Scottish Gaelic is the predominant spoken language, although in a
few areas English speakers form a majority.
