Shulishader (
Scottish Gaelic : "Sulaisiadar") is a small village with a population of around 120 people inPoint, Outer Hebrides on theIsle of Lewis ,Scotland . Located on the north-western side of theEye Peninsula , it overlooks Broad Bay. Most of the village is over 60m above sea level, affording excellent views across the bay and northern Lewis, though the land falls gently towards the sea before ending in small cliffs. There are several small, difficult to access, sandy beaches, and a small cove on the coastline. The cove is accessible via 88 dilapidated steps, and contains a pebble peach, some natural caves and a concrete structure once used for boat moorings above the high tide line.The village is essentially a dormitory village, and there are no amenities within the village, not even a church, which is unusual for a Lewis village. An hourly bus service passes through from
Portnaguran toStornoway and in the opposite direction, though services are less frequent in the evening.The village is surrounded by common grazing land and moorland which is worked to provide
peat as fuel but this is a declining activity.Vodafone have recently erected a mobile phone mast on themoor , a short distance east of the centre of the village.
