Tour Scotland travel video of Luskentyre Beach on visit to the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides 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. However, the headland contains the site of an old part of Luskentyre Cemetery. Luskentyre Beach has been voted Britain's best beach. Luskentyre is accessible from the A859, via a minor road. 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.
