The bedrock of Harris is largely [[Lewis]]ian [[gneiss]]es, which were laid down in the [[Precambrian]] period, interspersed with [[granite]] intrusions. One of these intrusions forms the summit plateau of the mountain Roinebhal. The granite here is [[anorthosite]], and is similar in composition to rocks found in the mountains of the [[Moon]].<ref> McKirdy, Alan Gordon, John & Crofts, Roger (2007) ''Land of Mountain and Flood: The Geology and Landforms of Scotland''.

Harris is a part of [[Historic counties of Scotland|historic]] [[Inverness-shire]], and was administered as such under older administrative divisions.

<!--The area is sparsely populated. Beyond Tarbert, the furthest settlement is [[Hushinish]] (''Hùisinis'') on the west coast. A bridge from the east coast links Harris to the island of [[Scalpay, Outer Hebrides|Scalpay]] (''Scalpaigh na Hearadh'').
In March 2003 the 62,500 acre North Harris Estate was purchased<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2810017.stm Islanders celebrate buy-out], BBC News Online, 1 March 2003</ref> by [[development trust]] the North Harris Trust on behalf of the local community.<ref>[http://www.north-harris.org "Welcome to The North Harris Trust - ''Urras Ceann a 'Tuath na Hearadh''"] North Harris Trust.

Its main settlements are [[Rodel]] (''Roghadal''), known for its medieval [[kirk]] of St. Clement (''Eaglais Chliamhain''), the most elaborate surviving medieval church in the [[Hebrides]] after [[Iona Abbey]], and [[Leverburgh]] (''An Tòb na Hearadh'' or ''An t-Òb na Hearadh''). A ferry sails from the latter to [[Berneray, North Uist, Scotland|Berneray]] (''Beàrnaraigh na Hearadh''), an island off the coast of [[North Uist]] (''Uibhist a Tuath''), to which it is joined by a causeway.
The road which runs along the east coast of south Harris is known colloquially as the "Golden Road" as it cost so much money to build, when it was built in 1897. It runs from Tarbert to Rodel through the area of Harris known as [[Bays, Harris|Bays]] and through the coastal townships of [[Lickisto]] (''Liceasto''), [[Geocrab]] (''Geòcrab''), [[Manish]] (''Mànais''), [[Flodabay]] (''Fleòideabhagh''), [[Ardvay]] (''Àird Mhighe''), [[Finsbay]] (''Fionnsbhagh'') and [[Lingerbay]] (''Lingreabhagh'').
The beaches of Luskentyre and Scarista are amongst the most spectacular. From the former the island of [[Taransay]], where the BBC Television series [[Castaway 2000]] was recorded, is seen most clearly from Harris. At Scarista the beach is a venue for surfing and kite buggying. Nearby the Harris Golf Club offers well kept greens and views of the hills, but there is no play on Sundays. Scarista is the birthplace of the author [[Finlay J. MacDonald]] who wrote about growing up on Harris in the 1930s. His books: ''[[Crowdie and Cream]]'', ''[[The Corncrake and the Lysander]]'' and ''[[Crotal and White]]'' paint a vivid and humorous picture of [[Hebridean]] life.
===Tarbert===
Tarbert is the main port and capital village of Harris. The name Tarbert comes from the Norse tairbeart meaning "draw-boat". Tarbert is a community of approximately 500 located on a narrow strip of land between Loch Tarbert and West Loch Tarbert. The village has the main ferry terminal, local tourist information and a range of small shops are available, including the [[Harris Tweed]] Shop overlooking the main access road to the [[Cal Mac]] ferry terminal and AD Munro's general grocery store on the main street.
Recent media attention has surrounded angling on Harris and Tarbert in particular. Local fishermen have been targeting large [[Common skate|Common Skate]] in the area and have had prolific catches, mainly from West Loch Tarbert in autumn through the winter. There is an application for the [[Scotland|Scottish]] shore record of {{convert|183|lb|kg}} although a subsequently caught fish estimated at {{convert|204|lb|kg}} has been landed. These catches have attracted the attention of the local and national press and sea angling’s leading magazines.<ref>[http://www.thisisnorthscotland.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=149235&command=displayContent&sourceNode=149218&contentPK=18750957&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch ''Press and Journal'' report]</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7057841.stm BBC NEWS | Scotland | Highlands and Islands | Record-breaking hope for big fish

==Economy and transport==
In common with many parts of the [[Highlands and Islands]] Harris has numerous [[single-track roads]] with passing places at intervals. [[ferry|Ferries]] sail from Tarbert to [[Uig, Skye|Uig]] in [[Isle of Skye|Skye]].
Harris is also known for [[Harris Tweed|Harris tweed]], although this is mostly now made in Lewis.
==Education==
The Sir E. Scott secondary school in Tarbert serves the whole of the Isle of Harris and Scalpay. This school has a primary and secondary department and can educate up to sixth year. The current headmaster is Gordon Macdonald.<ref>[http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/education/harrisaddresses.htm "Harris School Details"] Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
