    Lews Castle is a very impressive former stately home that now boasts function rooms, a cafe and accommodation too. Designed by architect Charles Wilson, the building dates back to 1851. The modern annex is the Museum nan Eilean Stornoway, where you can learn more about the archipelago's rich culture.
