Luskentyre (Scottish Gaelic: Losgaintir) is a sparse settlement on the west coast of Harris, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Luskentyre is situated within the parish of Harris.[1] The name Luskentyre derives from Lios-cinn-tir, meaning 'headland fort', although there is no trace or local knowledge of a fort at the headland.[2] However, the headland contains the site of an old part of Luskentyre Cemetery.[3] Luskentyre Beach has been voted Britain's best beach.[4] Luskentyre is accessible from the A859, via a minor road.[5]
Wildlife in the area includes the common scoter, the velvet scoter, the eider duck, the wigeon, the long-tailed duck, the red-breasted merganser, the great northern diver and the Slavonian grebe.[5]
