==Religion== {{see also|Religion in the Outer Hebrides}} Harris has a largely [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] population that practises [[Sunday Sabbatarianism|sabbatarianism]]: all retail outlets are shut on Sunday.<ref>[http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/hebrides2001/infobytes.htm "Hebrides 2002"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415161539/http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/hebrides2001/infobytes.htm |date=15 April 2009 }} [[Comhairle nan Eilean Siar]]. Retrieved 3 August 2008.</ref> This area has been described as the last bastion of [[Reformed fundamentalism]] in the UK, and there was controversy in 2006 when [[Caledonian MacBrayne]] started a Sunday ferry service.<ref>Seenan, Gerard (10 April 2006) [https://www.theguardian.com/religion/Story/0,,1750597,00.html "Fury at ferry crossing on Sabbath"] ''The Guardian''. Retrieved 3 August 2008.</ref> However, a Sunday ferry service between Berneray (North Uist) and Leverburgh (An t-Γb) in the south of Harris has been introduced with relatively little controversy and now operates all year round. This allowed travel to Lewis and Harris by ferry on a Sunday before the Sunday ferries to Stornoway started in 2009. The North Uist end of the connection can be reached by other ferry routes that also operate on Sundays (Uig-Lochmaddy and Oban-Lochboisdale).
