'''Harris''' is the southern part of the single [[island]] of [[Lewis]] and Harris in the [[Western Isles]] of [[Scotland]]. It is linked by ferry to the island of [[North Uist]] and to [[Uig]] on the [[Isle of Skye]]. It has given its name to the rugged woven woolen cloth known as 'Harris Tweed', the term ''tweed'' being a corruption of ''tweel'' (twill) and nothing to do with the [[River Tweed]] in south-eastern Scotland.
