All about Isle of Lewis

Situated off the northwest coast of Scotland, the Isle of Lewis is an enchanting region in the Na h-Eileanan an Iar, or the Western Isles, where rolling grassy hills and jagged cliffs frame turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. Despite its name, the Isle of Lewis is not a separate island but forms part of a larger island with Harris in the Outer Hebrides. It is a sparsely populated region with its town, Stornoway, and most of its villages dotted around the coastline. The central area comprises the Lewis Peatlands, a plateau containing a vast swathe of peat, which is still used by the local community for heating.

Visitors can explore the dramatic seascapes of the island, taking in striking cliffs and rock formations, sheltered coves, and exquisite beaches, including Uig and Valtos beaches. The Lewis villages appear locked in time with a strong sense of community spirit, with Gaelic freely spoken and traditional Celtic music celebrated. The windswept landscapes here show traces of the past, from the 5,000-year-old Calanais Standing Stones to hilltop Dun Carloway Broch from the Iron Age. The Blackhouse in Arnol dates from the late 1800s, while the Lewis Chessmen in the Museum nan Eilean are evidence of the island’s Viking past.

What are the top things to do in Isle of Lewis?

Uig Sands

On the west coast of the Isle of Lewis is one of the most spectacular beaches in the region, Uig Beach. The word “Uig” is Norse for “bay,” and the area boasts a huge bay area with a wide expanse of sand set against a backdrop of rolling green mountains and surrounded by captivating rock formations. The region is known for being the site of one of the greatest archaeological finds in the area, as the Lewis Chessmen were discovered here in 1831.

Calanais Stone Circle

About a half-hour west of Stornoway are the Calanais Standing Stones, which date between approximately 2900 and 2600 BC. A 4.8-metre stone monolith stands in the centre, with 13 smaller stones surrounding it and more stones scattered around the area. The site has a visitor centre, cafe, and an exhibition called “Story of the Stones,” where you can discover the various theories behind this Neolithic monument.

Museum nan Eilean

The first Gaelic-led museum in the United Kingdom, Museum nan Eilean was built in 2016 in a modern glass building next to Lews Castle in Stornoway. It explores life over millennia in the Outer Hebrides, with six of the Lewis Chessmen at its heart. The museum also includes personal accounts from Hebridean residents about their unique lives here.
