Isle of Lewis

Alongside the great sites of historic interest like the Callanish Standing Stones and the Carloway broch, we would like to introduce you to some of our favourite places on the Isle of Lewis - those hidden treasures that you only know about if you live in a place. Take some time to explore these hidden parts, which we hope will give you a flavour of what is special about the Isle of Lewis. Each covers a different aspect so pick and mix or follow the suggested day trips - give it time and get the rewards.

If you find something that interests you - you may like to print it off and bring it with you, look out for the printer icons alongside the document titles at the top of the page. To assist you further a Hidden Lewis map is available from Tourist Information offices and other outlets across the Isle of Lewis.

A scheme was recently introduced which considerably reduced ferry fares to and from our island. This is the best ever time to think about a winter trip to the Isle of Lewis!
