The island of Lewis is in the Outer Hebridies, off the coast of Scotland.
This fertile island is remarkable for the richness and variety of its flora and fauna, including golden eagles, deer and seals.
Lewis has a deep tradition of myths and legends, as well as an interesting history, having formed part of the Nordic kingdom that existed in the region between 1079 and 1266. Some of the Scotland’s main points of interest from an archeological and historical perspective are to be found on Lewis, for example the Callanish Stones, which have been standing since 2000 B.C. There are also several Iron Age constructions that are unique to Scotland, such as Dun Carloway, which contains some buildings in a surprising state of preservation, considering that they were erected in the first century before Christ.
The island of Lewis is a marvellous holiday destination that still possesses all of the charm and magic of times gone by in a beautiful natural environment, perfect for an unforgettable holiday!
