The Butt of Lewis

The Butt of Lewis is the most northerly point of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The headland, which lies in the North Atlantic, is frequently battered by heavy swells and storms and is marked by the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse. It was built in 1862 by the Stevenson brothers.

Dùn Èistean

Dùn Èistean is a multi-period archaeological site on an inter- tidal sea stack on the north east coast of the Isle of Lewis, near the village of Knockaird. It is accorded the status of traditional stronghold of Clan Morrison – once a highly powerful family within the Lordship of the Isles – in local oral tradition.
