| Stornoway Golf Club is the only golf course on the Isle of Lewis, it's 18 holes are well designed and professionally maintained with panoramic views of Stornoway Harbour and the Minch. At only 5252 yards it may appear short by modern standards but there are plenty of hazards for wayward shots including mature trees, heather and gorse. The course record of 62 is held by two Stornoway Golf Club members |
| The Callanish Standing Stones are one of the most complete stone circles in Europe. The stones are made of Lewisian Gneiss which is one of the oldest rocks in Britain and dates back 3000 million years. The most atmospheric time to be at the Callanish Stones is at dawn or just after, or at sunset or shortly after, especially in mid winter. Good photos though are possible throughout the rest of the year. A photograph taken positioning a rising or setting sun behind the central stone results in a stunning image.

 | Abhainn Dearg Distillery (pronounced Aveen Jarræk), is located in Uig, Isle of Lewis. The distillery is the first legal whisky distillery in the Outer Hebrides in almost two hundred years. Established in 2008, the first spirit to leave the island was in 2010. Later a special signed bottling of new spirit called, “The Spirit of Lewis” was offered and was quickly sold out. In the years since the distillery was founded it has achieved the objective of Marko, the owner. This was to produce a whisky entirely from within the Outer Hebrides, starting with growing the barley through to the final bottling. Go and have a look around the distillery while exploring Uig, it is certainly worth seeing (and tasting!) |
