Lewis is the largest and northernmost island in the Outer Hebrides , home to one of the finest prehistoric sites in Britain, and some fabulous beaches.
The main town on the island of Lewis, Stornoway, is by far the largest settlement on the Outer Hebrides. There is also an abundance of crofting and fishing villages dotted along the north-west coast. This is where you will find the famous standing stones at Callanais, a fascinating group of nearly 50 megaliths dating from around 3000 BC which never fail to enthrall.
The west coast is home to amazing beaches, while much of the island is made up of peat bog, the favoured habitat of a variety of rare breeding birds. Butt of Lewis, the far northerly tip of the island, is home to many seabirds, and is an excellent spot for watching whales, dolphins and porpoises.
