The small but stunning town of Stornoway is in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, on the Isle of Lewis. Its vast landscape has a beauty that any visitor will appreciate, and the pretty, colourful buildings only serve to compliment the natural views.
There are some truly fascinating things to see in the area, including the Victorian Lews Castle which looks over the harbour, several standing stone constructions, and the restored Latta’s Mill. If you have enough time, slightly further out is The Whale Bone Arch – an archway made from the jaws of a blue whale, complete with the harpoon that was found in the creature when it washed ashore in 1920. Or, for some earlier history, visit Carloway Broch – an Iron Age building that would once have been used to defend and protect.
In addition to these historical sites, there are art and cultural museums, golfing, fishing, and boat trips to choose from. Or, take in the scenery on a stroll along the beach or in one of the many parks and public gardens.
When it comes to eating out, Stornoway has several restaurants and coffee shops to choose from. Enjoy traditional Scottish pub style food, fresh fish dinners, and of course – haggis.
