Castle sights in Stornoway (Steornabhagh)

  1. A

    Lewis Castle

    The Baronial mansion across the harbour was built in the 1840s for the Matheson family, then owners of Lewis. It was gifted to the community by Lord Leverhulme in 1923 and was home to the local college for 40 years, but has lain empty since 1997 (the college now occupies modern buildings in the castle grounds); it is now slated for development as a museum and hotel. The beautiful grounds are open to the public and host the Hebridean Celtic Festival.
