About Arnol

Arnol lies on Lewis's northwest coast along the A858, about 25km from Stornoway via Barvas. This remote crofting village sits amid Atlantic moorland and peat bogs, with roughly 11 fast EV chargers nearby for island explorers. The star attraction is the preserved Arnol Blackhouse, a traditional dwelling where peat smoke escaped through the thatch roof rather than a proper chimney.
