Chris Taylor, VisitScotland Regional Leadership Director, said: “Tourism is the heartbeat of the Scottish economy and touches every community, generating income, jobs and social change and the Quality Assurance award scheme helps businesses to reach their full potential and truly shine.”Catherine & Richard Sinclair-Scott, owners of The Sheep Station, said:“What drew us to Scaristavore was the stunning landscape and we’ve worked to create homes that complement that unique island environment. We’re delighted to receive five stars from VisitScotland so early in our journey. We look forward to welcoming visitors from across the globe to The Sheep Station and the stunning Isle of Harris.”
