Understand
Barra is a predominately Catholic island, so there are fewer restrictions on Sunday activities shops etc than the islands further North. There are also some wayside shrines which is unusual in Scotland.
The Tourist Information Office (http://www.visithebrides.com) is in Main Street, Castlebay 01871 810336 and open from Easter to October only usually opens for evening ferry arrivals. Coming off the ferry, take the right fork in the road and head up past the shops.
