Leverburgh is the main village in the southern part of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, with a population of about 200. The main road A859 follows the west coast, running from Tarbert through Seilebost, Borve, Scarista and Northton to Leverburgh, continuing south to Rodel. A narrow lane twisting along the east coast is known as the "Golden Road" for the expense of building it.

Fine disused church dating from the 15th century. It fell into disuse almost as soon as it was built, because of the Reformation, but the graveyard continued as the burial ground of Clan Macleod. It's named for Pope Clement I, in office 88-99 AD and possibly the immediate successor to Peter.
Small museum with exhibits on Harris history and wildlife, plus archives for genealogy research.
