Isle of Lewis History and Culture

The historical story of the Hebrides is a compelling tale of struggles and triumphs spanning the 8000 years since the last ice age. This story is not just told in books, but can be seen first hand at some of the best preserved historical sites in the country.
Some of these you may know about, like the Callanish Stones and the Broch at Doune Carloway, but there are sites which have been developed more recently which are essential visits like the Iron Age Village at Bostadh and The Gearrannan Blackhouse Village. These sites provide a physical link with the past from the first people who started to farm the land some 5000 years ago, up to those who worked the land in the last few hundred years.
Culture

      
The Hebrides are the heartland of the Gaelic culture. Over the summer months in particular you will find many events celebrating the Gaelic and Celtic culture of these islands.

The pictures and reviews don't do this justice, it is amazing.We came here on our honeymoon and could be happier the place has everything thing from amazing views to sky films Netflix, Alexa, fantastic spa facilities and some sheep in the garden. The host Donald was lovely, gave us such a warm welcome and cooked us lobster caught from the loch visible from the window outside his guest house​ 2mins down the road. We have some long lasting memories! Thank you.
