Where is Na h-Eileanan an Iar?
Na h-Eileanan an Iar is the local authority area covering the Western Isles, and its Councils name is Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Comhairle is Gaelic for Council). The local authority was established in 1996 under the name Western Isles, but changed that to Na h-Eileanan an Iar shortly afterwards. Since na h- is a form of the definite article (“the” in English), we put Na h-Eileanan an Iar under “E” in alphabetical lists.
