Activity itinerary

Clach an Trushal

Known as the Stone of Compassion, this is believed to be the tallest standing stone in Scotland. Above ground it stands at 5.8metres tall, is 1.83 metres wide and at its thickest point is 1.5 metres thick.
Butt of Lewis Lighthouse
  • 15m
A stop-off at the most north-westerly point in the British Isles. The lighthouse was built by David Stevenson, father of the author of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson. This area is good for viewing basking sharks and porpoises and has a small beach nearby. The area also holds a Guinness Book of Records for the highest gust recorded in the British Isles at 133.6 miles per hour in 1962
Gearrannan Blackhouse Village Ltd
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
A stop off at the restored Blackhouse Village, comprising a museum highlighting life in the 1800s on Lewis. Watch a video on community life and culture and enjoy seeing a Harris Tweed Weaver at work and a real life peat stack.
Callanish Standing Stones
  • 30m
See the stone circle which ages with the Pyramids and older than Stonehenge. Try and make sense of the reason for the stones. Visit the exhibition and enjoy a cup of tea and some cake at the visitor centre.
Lews Castle
  • 30m
Redeveloped in 2015 to bring the building back to its original state, Lews Castle was built between 1840 and 1860 by Lord and Lady Matheson, as a luxurious dwelling. Sold onto Lord Leverhulme of Unilever, the Castle, grounds, Stornoway and surrounding areas was left to the people of Stornoway in 1924, culminating in the first land owning trust in Scotland being established. The building had a museum added in the redevelopment which houses a rich history of the islands and some of the Lewis Chessmen which were discovered in a sand dune in Uig in 1831. Carved from Walrus Ivory, they are believed to have been brought to Lewis by the Vikings in the 12th Century AD.
