About Isle of Lewis

Lewis forms the northern half of the Outer Hebrides' largest island, reached by ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway. The A857 and A858 provide the main routes around this Atlantic outpost, mostly single-track roads requiring careful driving. Popular circuits include the western coastal loop and trips to Callanish Standing Stones. The 4,000-year-old stone circle at Callanish predates Stonehenge and remains one of Scotland's most complete prehistoric monuments.
