Stornoway, meaning “steering bay,” was named by some of its earliest visitors. The present-day Stornoway, Scotland, continues to engage in traditional trades, welcoming tourists to this vibrant fishing, farming, and tweed-making town situated on the shores of the Minch. If you are interested in these industries, you should visit the local museum and the Lewis Loom Centre. Moreover, Stornoway’s natural sights are remarkable, with seals, porpoises, dolphins, and large colonies of birds. Local culture is significant here, and the residents of Stornoway take pride in sharing it, particularly their cuisine. Even if black pudding is not to your taste, you might enjoy the fresh, locally-caught smoked salmon and kippers.
