Eoropie (Scottish Gaelic: Eòrapaidh) is the most northerly village on the Isle of Lewis in the parish of Ness, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Eoropie is within the parish of Barvas. The Teampull Mholuaidh is to be found here. Eoropie is situated at the end of the B8013 and B8014 roads, from Lionel and Port of Ness, respectively.
It is just south of the Butt of Lewis and contains the Eoropie Dunes Park.
This is a 4 acre play site. The Park is managed by a charity called Guth Airson Iarrtasan Nis (A Voice for the Needs of Ness). Set up in 1998 "to enhance play and leisure facilities and encourage environmental awareness," by a group of mothers who had no local playground for their children. The land was donated by the crofting families who traditionally worked the sandy 'machair' land along the west coast of Lewis.
