Lews Castle and Woodland: A Jewel in Stornoway


Lews Castle at sunset

Overlooking Stornoway harbour, the gothic-revival style castle was built in the mid 1800’s by Sir James Matheson. Since then this beautiful building has also served as a hospital during World War 2, a college and a school. Now it is a wedding venue and luxurious self-catering holiday destination. See homepage of Natural Retreats.
