Comhairle nan Eilean Siar

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, also known as the Western Isles Council, is the local government authority responsible for the Outer Hebrides, an archipelago off the northwest coast of Scotland. It manages public services such as education, healthcare, transportation, housing, and social services for the island communities. The council aims to support local development, preserve cultural heritage, and improve residents' quality of life. It operates under Scottish government policies but focuses specifically on the needs of the Gaelic-speaking and rural populations in the islands.
