No trip to Lewis would be complete without visiting the famous standing stones at Callanais, a fascinating group of nearly 50 megaliths from around 3000 BC.
The Arnol Blackhouse is a preserved example of the many empty blackhouses on the island. The west coast has brilliant beaches, while much of the island comprises peat bog, the favoured habitat of various rare breeding birds. The 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. Lewis’s stunning scenery and unique heritage combine to make an inspiring landscape for both local and visiting artists. The communities of Lewis and Harris hold inspiring events, exhibitions and programmes to harness this creativity and have won a 2015 Creative Place Award in recognition of their exceptional contributions to Scotland’s cultural scene.
