The Western Isles – or Outer Hebrides – forms part of a 130 mile long chain of islands that lie about forty miles of the north west coast of mainland Scotland. There are 790 Scottish islands, of which twelve in the western Isles are inhabited with a combined resident population of about 26,000.

Apart from being the most northerly district in the Western Isles, Ness also has the distinction of being the most northwesterly community in the European Union.  The district of Ness consists of sixteen villages, mainly scattered along the coastal plains that lie along its northern and western coasts. The current population of Ness is about 1,300 people.
