About Blashaval
Blashaval is a small settlement located on the island of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, within the council area of Na h-Eileanan an Iar. It lies to the west of the main village of Tarbert, accessible via a narrow road that runs along the coast. The area is characterised by its rugged coastal scenery, with rocky shores and views across the Atlantic. The community is small, with a mix of traditional crofting homes and more modern dwellings. The local economy relies on fishing, crofting, and some tourism, particularly during the summer months. The postcode area HS6 covers the western part of Harris, including Blashaval. The landscape is open and windswept, typical of the Hebrides, with peat-covered moorland and occasional patches of heather. The community maintains strong ties to Gaelic culture and traditions.
