Isle of Lewis
Outer Hebrides (Western Isles)

Lewis is a fairly flat island with many spectacular sandy beaches, a rugged coastline and a landscape that is worth investigating by detouring down all the little roads you find. Most visitors come to see the Calanais (Callanish) standing stones, but it is also a good area for fishing, cycling, walking and bird watching. There are many other standing stones and archaeological monuments to visit too.

The Gaelic name for Lewis is Leodhas which means marshy. Most of the island is indeed covered by a blanket of peat. Deposits of this started some 5000 years ago and today you can see it being cut and dried for later use as fuel. The underlying rock, Lewisian gneiss, is thought to be 2900 million years old - half as old as the Earth itself.

Here in the Western Isles (formerly known as the Outer Hebrides) the landscape and history of Lewis, together with the hospitality of its people provide a wonderful escape from the pressures of modern life. With luck you may even see otters, seals, eagles or dolphins. Deer tend to keep to the high ground during the summer, but sometimes you can see them on the Harris Estate near Ardhasaig and Ardvoulie along the main road from Tarbert to Stornoway. In the summer months there are many colourful wild flowers to be seen on the machair. The heather is a picture of purple in late summer when in full bloom.

Thanks to the scorched earth policy of Magnus III, known as Magnus Barelegs because he adopted the Scottish kilt rather than wear Viking trousers, many of the original trees on Lewis were destroyed. In more recent times, trees have been replanted in various parts of the island and it is always a lovely surprise to come across them.

To enjoy Lewis and neighbouring Harris at the nice slow pace they deserve, you really need at least 4 days. After that you will have fallen in love with the islands and will probably want to return for a week or more on your next visit! Combined with the islands of the Uists and Barra to the south, you could easily spend 2 weeks here and still not want to go home. Today some 21,000 people live on Harris and Lewis and it is the most populated of the Western Isles group (although you might not notice it that much when you are there!).

The Isles of Lewis and Harris featured in the BBC Call the Midwife Christmas special (December 2019). Filming took place at the Callanish / Calanais standing stones (Lewis), Gearrannan black house village (Lewis), Luskentyre beach (Harris), Rodel church (Isle of Harris) and Eilean Glas Lighthouse (Scalpay). The cast stayed at Amhuinnsuidhe Castle (Harris).

LEWS CASTLE (Stornoway)
This light brown, mock-Tudor folly was built in the 19th century by Sir James Matheson who purchased the island in 1844 with part of the fortune he accumulated from the opium trade in the Far East. The surrounding trees and greenery were planted in thousands of tons of soil that he had shipped over from the mainland. In 1924, only a few years after buying Lewis, Lord Leverhulme gifted the building back to the people of Stornoway.
During the Second World War, the castle was used as a naval hospital. Later it housed a technical college, but it was left empty in 1987.
The castle has been renovated to add luxury accommodation, a cafe and gift shop.
In the grounds, the new museum and archive centre (Museum nan Eilean) is opened in 2016. It displays 6 of the famous Lewis Chessmen on loan from the British Museum. Free entry. Open all year (afternoons only from October to end March) but closed on Thursdays and Sundays. Museum: 01851 822746 / Archives: 01851 822750.

Visitors are free to walk around the extensive grounds which feature over 100 species of tree. The Woodlands Centre houses exhibitions, a cafe, gift shop and toilets. Open Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm. Tel: 01851 706916.
Segway Hebrides offer tours in the Castle grounds starting near the Boatman's House at the front of the Woodlands Centre. Booking essential. Tel: 01851 702575.
Experience Hebrides is offering Stornoway Walking Tours, Forest Archery and Geocaching trails, along with mountain bike and other equipment hire
From the grounds, the view stretches across the harbour to the main part of town and the start of the Eye Peninsula. On top of Gallows Hill in the castle grounds, there's a chambered cairn which has been partly obscured by a modern cairn (map reference NB417323).

IOLAIRE
The tragic history of Lewis is commemorated near Sandwick by the war memorial for the sinking of HMY Iolaire (Gaelic for eagle.). On 31 December 1918, this naval yacht set sail from Kyle of Lochalsh to bring soldiers and sailors back to Lewis from the ending of World War One. Early in the morning of 1st January 1919, only a short distance from Stornoway harbour, the Iolaire hit rocks on the reef known as the Beasts of Holm. Tragically over 200 men drowned within yards of the shore and only 79 of those onboard survived. A new commemorative space was unveiled here for the centenary of the sinking in January 2019.
The island of Lewis had already lost over 1000 men between 1914 and 1918. The main war memorial built in 1924 overlooks Stornoway and can be seen for miles.

POINT or THE UI or EYE PENINSULA
Take the A866 east of Stornoway and explore this spur of land which juts out into the Minch. Six miles from Stornoway is Saint Columba's Church (also known as Ui Church) near Aignish. It is said that 19 chiefs of the Macleods of Lewis are buried here and one of them is commemorated on a carved gravestone now propped against the wall. Another carved slab which has Celtic designs is thought to be for his daughter. The church is believed to have been built on the site of a cell occupied by Saint Cartan in the 7th century.

There is a touching story here surrounding the grave of Mary Mackenzie (Mairi Nighean Alisdair). When she passed away her husband William went to join his only remaining family who had all left for Canada but he died broken-hearted (actually of typhoid) within a year of landing in the New World and was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Thunder Bay. Before leaving Lewis he pulled out one of his teeth and buried it with his wife so at least part of him remained there. William MacKenzie (1856 - 1908) became known as the Bard of Shader for his songs and poetry. A headstone here in the church cemetery at Aignish was dedicated in September 1998 in the presence of his grandson to mark the 90th anniversary of his death.

750 metres south of Garrabost is a chambered cairn (map reference NB 534330). South of there can be found a standing stone and yet further south Dun Bayble.

Driving towards Tiumpan Head you will pass Loch an Duin which has a causeway over to an island dun (map reference NB 516304).
The lighthouse at Tiumpan Head is now a cattery and dog kennels. H.M. the Queen and Prince Charles visited in the 1950s and the young prince got to sound the foghorn.

Point has its own web site pointonline.co.uk
The annual Point agricultural show takes place in July.

B895 ROAD & BEACHES
Driving north from Stornoway up the coast to Tolsta is well worth the trip. After passing the Griais Mill (18th century), continue up the B895 past various beaches until you reach the end of the road where there is a car parking area. Here you will find a couple of great beaches and beautiful cliff scenery.

There is a waymarked walk from Tolsta all the way across the moorland to Ness (10 miles / 16 km). You may not wish to walk all the way there and back (if you can't arrange transport at the other end), but it is worth walking a little way to see the 'Bridge to Nowhere'. This was Lord Leverhulme's idea for a road to connect Tolsa with Ness. The road was never built, but maybe one day the idea will be resurrected.
Visit the North Tolsta Historical Society web site for more details and local information.

Tolsta beach, Isle of Lewis, Scotland

Further along the clifftop, there is a late prehistoric/medieval dun (Caisteal a' Mhorair) on a rock stack (map reference NB 537496). Take the track leading north to the waterfall. Walk another kilometre north and you will see a fort (Dun Othail) and possible chapel on another rock stack (map reference NB 542514).

COLL POTTERY CRAFT CENTRE
6 miles north of Stornoway on the B895 road, Coll Pottery Craft Centre showcases working craft studios with viewing area, retail galleries with ceramics, glass, jewellery and many other local Hebridean arts and crafts. The tea room serves light lunches and snacks. Open during the summer Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sundays 12pm - 4pm. Tel: 01851 820475 / 07787030504. Parking, toilets, WiFi. For special events, craft workshops and demonstrations - check the Facebook page for announcements.

WEST LEWIS

For an excursion from Stornoway, you can explore the west coast of Lewis by heading across the moorland on the A857 to Barvas. From there you can either head north to Ness or south for Callanish, etc.

Heading north from Barvas to Ness

The Morvern Gallery features a variety of local crafts plus a cafe. Further along, Borgh Pottery at Borve is open Monday to Saturday from 9.30am to 6pm.

Located to the west of the A857 near the village of Baile an Truseil is Clach an Truseil (map reference NB 375538) which is the tallest standing stone in Scotland ( at 5.7 metres high). Check out Robert Pollock's guide. Near here is the site of the last battle between the Macaulays and the Morrisons.

Just up the road, 850 metres along a track south-east of Siadar at map reference NB 396541 is what is thought to be a chambered cairn overlain by the foundations of a hall (3000 - 1500 BC). The site overlooks an island dun in Loch an Duin.

Heading up towards Ness, Dun Mara is an Iron Age fort on a promontory 1.5 miles north-west of Cros (map reference NB 495631).

The Ness Heritage Centre is in the village of Habost, after which you reach the Port of Ness with its attractive harbour and sandy beach.
Also visit the Harbour View Gallery (tel: 01851 810735) which features paintings by Anthony J Barber, and the Taigh Dhonnchaidh arts and music centre.
Also at Port of Ness: Callicvol Quilts (closed Sundays & Mondays) and The Islands Book Trust which organises an interesting programme of local talks throughout the Hebrides.

Take the road to the Butt of Lewis (the northernmost tip of the island) and you will pass St. Moluag's Church (which may date from early 16th century and was restored in 1912). It is 100 metres along a footpath north of the B8014 road (map reference NB 519652). At the end of the road you will reach the lighthouse - do be careful near the cliff edges!

Dùn Èistean is an archaeological site on a sea stack located between the Butt of Lewis and the Port of Ness. Traditionally known as the stronghold of the Clan Morrison.

Heading south from Barvas towards Callanish

Make a stop at the Oiseval Gallery which features stunning photographs by James Smith. It is open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Tel: 01851 840240. It is located at Brue (just south of Barvas).

ARNOL BLACK HOUSE (15 miles from Stornoway)
Driving southwards from Barvas you will see the signs to this black house. This is one of the old croft dwellings which were built without so much as a window or even a chimney: the smoke from the open peat fire went directly through the thatched roof. Inside its double stone walls, filled with earth for insulation, lived both the family and their animals. Admission charge. Open Monday - Saturday. Closed on Sundays. In the care of Historic Environment Scotland - click for opening times and charges.

WHALEBONE ARCH
Formed by the jawbone of an 85-foot long blue whale that came ashore in 1920 with the harpoon still attached. Visible from the road.

SOUTH BRAGAR DUN
After you have passed the whalebone arch in Bragar, continue south along the road. Shortly you will see the dun in a loch 80 metres east of the road. It can be accessed on foot by a causeway.

SHAWBOST FOLK MUSEUM (19 miles from Stornoway)
Situated in an old church, it began as a school project in the 1970s and was never dismantled. It houses various artefacts from days gone by including farming tools, kitchen implements, irons, a loom, even a crofter's bedroom and photos of a Norse watermill which was restored. The door is sometimes closed - give it a good push and you will probably find that it's unlocked. If not, find the school caretaker to give you the key. No admission charge, but donations welcomed.
Also see the web site by The West Side Historical Society.

SHAWBOST NORSE MILL AND KILN
These two small thatched buildings have been rebuilt to illustrate the process by which barley grain was processed into meal. After being dried in the kiln, the grain was put through the water-driven mill. This type of work went on in Lewis up until the 1940s. Open all year. Nearby Dalbeg beach is very picturesque.
Overlooking Loch Dalbeg, Aultbeithe is a 5 star luxury self catering cottage (sleeping 4).

GEARRANNAN BLACK HOUSE VILLAGE
Take a right turn at either Upper Carloway or Carloway. Drive to the very end of the road, park your car and you will see the village. Well worth a visit. In 1974 the last occupants of the black houses were moved to new accommodation nearby and the village was declared an Outstanding Conservation Area. Later the Gearrannan Trust was established to bring life back into the black houses. Today, the first house is the visitor centre with exhibition, shop and cafe. Tel: 01851 643416 Toilets available.

Gearrannan black houses, Isle of Lewis

One of the other houses has been restored so that visitors can experience how it would have been to live there in 1955. Several of the other black houses are available to rent as self-catering holiday accommodation and one is a youth hostel operated by the Gatliffe Trust. If you walk down towards the bay, you will see a waymarked walk heading up the hillside to the right. This takes you over to the lovely beach of Dalmore and then on to Dalbeg. The very start of the walk passes by 2 of the old blackhouses which have been left as ruins. More info is available on the Gearrannan web site.

CARLOWAY BROCH (15 miles from Stornoway)
An Iron Age round fortification some nine metres high in places. It's a short climb up the craggy hillside to the remains of the dry stone tower with its double walls and tiny entrance. As you enter the broch, look for the cavity on the right. It is thought that this was a guard cell where someone would have sat ready to pounce on any unwanted visitors. Once inside the broch itself, you can investigate some of the other cavities and see the staircase and ledge. You get a good view of the surrounding hills and the of the sea.

CALLANISH STANDING STONES - My photos
Dating back over 4000 years, Callanish ranks second in terms of importance only to Stonehenge and is older. On a headland overlooking part of a huge sea loch, 53 pale grey stones of Lewisian gneiss stand in a curious cruciform. The heart is a central circle of 13 tall stones where excavations in the mid-19th century uncovered a chambered tomb reported to have contained human remains. From there four limbs run out in line with the cardinal points of the compass. Pointing northwards lie two parallel rows of stones which form an avenue of unknown significance. They stand on a small hill called 'Cnoc an Tursa' - 'Hill of Sorrow'. Callanish is now often referred to by its Gaelic name - Calanais.

Together with eleven smaller sites scattered over the surrounding moorland, the main circle (My photos) seems to have been an ancient astronomical observatory. Detailed calculations have shown alignments with the sun and moon at various times of the year which could have been used to predict eclipses and the coming of the seasons. Curiously, it appears to be situated just south of a sort of lunar "arctic circle" inside which the moon fails to rise above the horizon when it reaches its 19-yearly southern maximum. Robert Pollock has a very detailed guide concerning many of these sites.

There are two other stone circles which you can access near the main site. They are quite easily seen from the main road (A858) just south of the turn to the visitor centre. Cnoc Ceann (Callanish II) is 400 metres from the road (map reference NB 222326). Cnoc Fhillibhir Bheag (Callanish III) is 200 metres from Callanish II along a footpath. My photos. From here you can look up to the small hill on the skyline and see the silhouettes of the stones of the main Callanish site.

Also visit the Callanish photos on the Stones of Scotland site by Paola Arosio and Diego Meozzi.

Opened in 1995, the excellent Calanais visitor centre includes an exhibition, a gift shop, toilets and a tearoom. The centre is open from 10am - 6pm Monday to Saturday in summer (April to September) and from 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Saturday in winter (October to March). Entry to the centre is free, but there is a small charge for admission to the exhibition. Tel: 01851 621422.
The standing stones themselves are always open (no entrance fee).

A scenic detour from the Callanish area

GREAT BERNERA
A bridge was built from Lewis to the small island of Great Bernera (Bearnaraigh or Bernera) after the locals threatened to detonate the hillside and make their own causeway. As you arrive on the island - look upwards to see a group of 4 standing stones on the cliff, known as Callanish VIII or Cleitir.

The island's main township, Breacleit is home to a community centre which operates a cafe and museum (tel: 01851 612331), and provides sporting facilities for the school and local people. Toilet facilities available. Post office, mini market shop and fuel station.
Bernera-based Chris Ryan operates guided tours.

Iron Age Bosta village replica
Inside the replica hut © Graham Taylor | Dreamstime.com 		Located at Bosta on the northern end of Great Bernera is a network of 9 stone buildings all connected by tunnels. It is the most completely preserved late-Iron Age village ever found in this country. A replica has been made of one of the houses so you can see how it would have been (open to visitors with a guide from 12 noon - 4pm, Monday - Friday). The importance of the site was only discovered in 1996. As you approach the beach from the road, you will see the local cemetery on your left - the site is to the left of the cemetery I believe. Information is available at the community centre in Breacleit. Toilets are available at Bosta beach. Photos.

UIG SANDS AND OTHER BEACHES
After visiting the island of Bernera, continue along the B8011 road heading further south and west. Here you will reach some spectacular beaches - Uig sands are well known, but don't forget to explore the others too, especially Traigh na Berie.

Uig Sands Restaurant overlooks the Uig Bay (near Timsgarry). Closed Mondays. Tel: 01851 672 334. Uig Lodge offers B&B and you can buy smoked salmon from its smokehouse.

Look out for the Uig Community & Heritage Centre at Crowlista (tel: 01851 672456). The museum includes many interesting local archaeological finds and geneaological information, and there is also a community-run cafe.
Lochcroistean Guest Centre is a coffee shop in the old school (tel: 01851 672 772).

VIKING FORT AND CEMETERY
The remains of this Viking fort were discovered in 1996 by archaeologists from Edinburgh University on the headland at Crowlista near Uig Sands. Newspaper reports speak of paths, floors, rectangular walls and pottery being found. Later, a Viking cemetery was uncovered six miles away at Valtos.

LEWIS CHESS PIECES
In 1831 a crofter found these chess pieces at Ardroil near Uig Sands (a beautiful beach west of Callanish). Experts determined that they were made of walrus ivory and date from the Viking occupation of the island. Reproductions are available in several local craft shops. The chessmen are held on display by the British Museum in London but 6 pieces will be available to see when the new museum opens in 2016 in Lews Castle, Stornoway.

A CD-ROM can be purchased from the National Museums of Scotland. Produced in both Gaelic and English, this CD-ROM includes a complete catalogue of all 90+ pieces (each photographed in b/w from 4 sides), plus sound files of local stories relating to their discovery, information on Chess and other board games of the time, as well as details of the use of walrus ivory and decorative patterns found on other objects.

ANCIENT NUNS' HABITATION
The road south from Uig sands ends at Mealasta where there are the remains of a medieval settlement, thought to have been a Benedictine nunnery (Tigh nan Cailleachan Dubha or House of the Black Women). Map reference NA 991241.

THE LOCHS / PAIRC AREA

Some 16 miles south of Stornoway on the road to Tarbert (Harris) is the Land Raiders Monument - a cairn erected to commemorate the Pairc deer raid in 1887 when local crofters tried to kill some of the laird's deer and occupy part of his land in order to draw attention to the injustices and hardships they faced.

Near here is a road leading eastwards into the Lochs / Pairc area. The first settlement is Kershader where you will see the Ravenspoint Visitor's Centre (cafe with free WiFi, shop with crafts and groceries, petrol). Not open on Sundays. The centre also houses a museum with exhibits including the Angus Macleod Archive, Derek Cooper Collection and Calum Kennedy Exhibition. The museum is open all year Monday - Saturday 11am - 5pm.
Toilets (open all the time) are available to the rear of the main building.
The building also contains a hostel which is open from March - October (telephone: 01851 880236). If you are camping, you can pay to use the hostel showers and washing machine.

Also in the Lochs area, you will find The Weaving Shed at Crossbost. This is an independent studio shop which also offers Harris Tweed demonstrations. Miriam makes Harris Tweed clothing, bags, accessories and homewear, as well as jewellery and watercolour sketches under the Western Isles Designs label. Open Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm. Contact 07833 335186.

The landscape of this area inspired Arthur Ransome for the setting of his book 'Great Northern' (the story of children protecting eggs of the great northern diver). There are several roads to explore and the one to Lemreway has great views of the Shiant islands on a clear day.

There are 2 sites of archaeological interest in the Lochs area. The ruins of Dun Cromor can be seen in a small loch at Cromor. The narrow causeway is still visible under the water. It is thought that it had an access stairway of 17 steps and an upper gallery.

Nearby a track to the west leads to a causeway from Crobeg to the island where you can visit the ruins of Saint Columba's Church (depending on the tides). Map reference NB 385210. It was mentioned in 1549 as the main place of worship for the Lochs area and there may have been a monastery here. Burials only ceased here in 1878. On the same island are the ruins of a house thought to have belonged to a Mr. Mackenzie who was the first factor employed by the Earl of Seaforth (who acquired Lewis in 1610).

Back on the main A859 road between Tarbert and Stornoway, by the Land Raiders monument is another road heading eastwards. This smaller road leads to the remains of a stone circle which has been partly incorporated into a dwelling of the Laird of Seaforth. This site is located on the shore of Loch Seaforth 500 metres along a track from the road (map reference NB 278166).

The Island Arts Gallery and coffee shop can be found at 8 Balallan in the Lochs area (14 miles south of Stornoway on the main A859). With artwork by Debbie Cullis and Paul Smith, it sells a range of paintings and prints as well as some handmade crafts. Light meals available. Open Wednesday - Saturday 10am-5pm in winter, and Monday - Saturday 10am-6pm in summer. Tel: 01851 830742.

The Outer Hebrides Leisure and Tourist Map is ideal for most holidays.
If you intend to go hiking, particularly in the hills, you will need the scale of maps provided by the Landranger series. Harris and Lewis are covered by several slightly overlapping maps in this series, all produced by the Ordnance Survey which is the official map agency of the UK: Tarbert & Loch Seaforth - West Lewis & North Harris - Stornoway & North Lewis.

The Islands Book Trust has numerous publications about the Hebridean islands.

Lewis and Harris
Lovely colour guide book (second edition published in 2007) with over 100 pages of photos. Written by Francis Thompson, covering the local heritage and culture of the islands, nature, the landscape, place names, history, crofting, Gaelic, places to visit, etc. Even if you don't get chance to buy it before you go, you will certainly want a copy for a souvenir when you have visited!

Riddoch on the Outer Hebrides
BBC radio presenter Lesley Riddoch cycled from Barra to the Butt of Lewis talking to local people along the way. The result is a unique insight into 21st century life in these islands faced with cultural and economic change. 'Provocative and inspired' (Stornoway Gazette review).

Tales and Traditions of the Lews
Much in demand for many years, this is the first new edition of Tales and Traditions of the Lews since 1967. A marvellous pot pourri of local history, myth and legend, it brings alive the island of Lewis in a way few other histories can.

Lewis: A History of the Island
The island's history stretches back to the time of the Norse invaders and before. Over the centuries, Lewis has seen a succession of powerful landlords come and go, and this ground-breaking book recounts the long-fought struggle over the land. It also describes many aspects of the islanders' way of life over the years - agriculture and fishing, education in Gaelic and English, the Church and the people, law and order and smuggling, emigration and the armed services are just some of the topics included in this wide-ranging survey.

Metagama: a Journey from Lewis to the New World
In 1923 the first of 3 Canadian liners arrived in Stornoway. Their mission, with the connivance of government officials, was to remove landless islanders, many of which were war veterans, rather than give them a plot of land. On an island still reeling from the Iolaire disaster, the removal of so many young families was to be yet another blow.
Even at the time the importance of the occasion was realised. A huge crowd had gathered on the quayside to say farewell amidst Gaelic psalm singing and the strains of a pipe band. Many of those who went were never to see their families again.
For the island of Lewis the departure of the Metagama was hugely symbolic. As author Jim Wilkie shows it was also the continuation of clearance by another means and a method of diverting attention from government failure and neglect.
