Stornoway is the main port on the Island of Lewis.The sheltered harbour is the reason for Stornoway's existence and was named by the visiting Vikings "Steering Bay".
Stornoway is the ideal location from which to explore the islands of Lewis and Harris which boast dramatic scenery, rich history (including the world-renowned Callanish standing stones), abundant wildlife and white sand beaches.
A wide variety of accommodation is available, ranging from B&Bs to castles, and Hebridean hospitality is renowned for its warmth and generosity.
Lewis is steeped in history and culture, ranging back thousands of years. Ancient stone circles stand on the same land as modern Stornoway. Gaelic is spoken alongside English, and Eagles live alongside Otters and people. The contrast of the ages and cultures is experienced all over the isles of Lewis and Harris (both joined) both in the towns and out in the hills and mountains. The Western Isles culture remains very strong, particularly in its religious beliefs. Sundays remain a very special day, and many people observe strict compliance to the "Free Church" traditional values.
With this breathtaking landscape on our doorstep you will not fail to be inspired. We will combine practical working with tours and visits to get the best from your relaxing stay.
