Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1HX - Stornoway (Gaelic: Ste?ýrnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

Murdo Maclean and sons is Stornoway's premier department store. A kind of Outer Hebrides Jenners or Kendals, not yet swallowed up by the House of Fraser.
Locals tell me that a trip there was an experience as a child, maybe getting whipped up to the 1st floor for school shoes, sunday best or uniform. I have certainly taken a few shots of it over the years, its a Stornoway icon, (almost as famous as butchers Macleod &
MacleodsBlack Pudding or Irn Bru Sausages).
As you walk in there is bric-a-brac downstairs with soft furnishings at the rear. Upstairs are the wearables, shoes, clothes etc. I am told that they stock some quite posh stuff too. I did spot some people sporting Tommy Hilfiger tops in The Thai Cafe, although that might have been from a stall on Inverness Market. They did have mainland accents!
An on-line review I read said 'There\u2019s a nice selection of Posh womens hats and bags (Think weddings and church) and a range of womens wear and underwear which is mostly suited to the more mature lady but sometimes you can find a great modern \u201cyoung person\u201d piece'.
Here's a shameless plug for them

Stornoway was originally a Viking settlement its said and developed around its well sheltered natural harbour. Reflecting this, the name Stornoway itself is derived from 'Stj\u00f3rnav\u00e1gr', an Old Norse word for 'steering bay'.
Medieval development of the town was spurred by the construction of the original castle in the High Middle Ages by the Nicolson (or MacNicol) family, themselves of Viking descent. Infighting between rival clans continued throughout the Late Middle Ages and resisted an attempt by the then King of Scotland James VI to colonise Lewis in 1597.
The castle was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell's forces in the aftermath of his Scottish campaign in the mid 17th century, and the ownership of Stornoway - and by extension, Lewis - passed from the MacKenzies of Kintail through the Seaforth family and Sir James Matheson (and his descendants) to William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme. Lord Leverhulme finally gifted the town's parish to the Stornoway Trust, whose ownership remains to this day.
Thanks to BenFD for commenting:
The town hall clock of Stornoway
Chimes its message everyday
Heaven can't be far away
From lovely Stornoway.
I don't know if that rhyme reflects the Christian values of Lewis, but people do take the Sabbath seriously. Only recently were Sunday newspapers available, Sunday boat sailings and flights were resisted.
The Christian religion has deep roots in the Western Isles, but owing mainly to the different allegiances of the clans in the past, the people in the northern islands (Lewis, Harris, North Uist) have historically been predominantly Protestant, and those of the southern islands (Benbecula, South Uist, Barra) predominantly Roman Catholic. There are also small Episcopalian congregations in Lewis, though many of their members originate outside the island.
It has also generally been considered unacceptable for people to appear in church improperly dressed, although this is slowly changing. Violations of this nature might include the failure by women to wear a hat, or trousers being worn instead of a skirt, or the wearing of informal clothing such as jeans. In December 2005 the local council refused to conduct ceremonies for same-sex couples wishing to register under the Civil Partnerships Act 2004.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1RB - Stornoway (Gaelic: Ste?ýrnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1RH - Stornoway - The herring girls
The Herring Girls played an important part in The history of Stornoway.
The Fishing Industry afforded many families a wage and indeed a living.
The work of women in the heyday of the Herring fishery has been well documented, with plays being written and performed , poetry being written about these brave hardworking girls. Here is a brief summary of the herring girls.
In Stornoway the work of women in the heyday of the Herring fishery is commemorated by two statues, one on North Beach Quay and the other on South Beach Quay.
The picture above shows a herring girl working gutting a herring. The girl has a barrel similar to those that were used in the herring industry throughout the 19th and 20th century.
The Herring Industry in 1914
In 1914 a combined 20% of the Isle of Lewis' population (3,000 women and another 1,600 men) were involved in the herring industry.In the early 20th century the fishing ports of Scotland were packed with women who worked the summer gutting herring, before heading down the east coast of England following the fishing.
For the women of that time there wasn't much work available and even though being a herring girl was jolly hard work - with long long hours and very low wages many of the girls loved the company of the other girls and looked forward to the start of the herring season. Although many of the girls working in the Stornoway herring industry - came from The Islands - they also worked alongside girls who came from all over Scotland - these girls travelled from port to port - wherever the work was on offer.

Great wee family run chip shop in the pedestrian area of stornoway.
Glass fronted shop so it\u2019s not difficult to miss.
Food is great, fish &
chips is highly recommended, though it\u2019s advisable to order in earlier so you don\u2019t have to queue as at dinner times the queue is often out the door!
All the usual chips, burgers, sausages, chicken and pies etc and they also do great onion rings.
Chips with gravy or curry sauce is a favourite at lunch times as is a cheeky chips (chips with a battered pork sausage)
Friendly staff and quick service unless your order has to be made right away.
Always busy at lunch times with school children (between 1 and 2)
They also sell fresh milk in pint bottles, soft drinks, water and do a great soft serve ice cream which is highly recommended.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3890901488 - 'An evening panorama from Stornoway town on the Isle of Lewis, Western Isles, Scotland. Just after a rain shower, the town looks clean and washed.
Ste\u00f2rnabhagh in Gaelic is a burgh on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of western Scotland.
The town's population is approximately 9,000 out of a total population of more than 26,00 for the whole of the Western Isles chain. The town is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council or CNES ). Christian observance of the Sabbath is an important aspect of the town's culture and on Sunday the town is grid-locked by church going folk, getting in and out of the town.
Indeed until recently there were no flights or ferries to Lewis on Sunday and (thankfully) no newspapers that day.
Stornoway was originally a Viking settlement and developed around its well sheltered natural harbour. The name Stornoway itself is derived from 'Stjornavagr', an Old Norse word for 'steering bay'.
The annual Hebridean Celtic Festival is a 4-day community led festival which attracts over 10,000 visitors during July of each year. The Royal National Mod has been held in Stornoway on a number of occasions.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3828011848 - 'The historic site over 4000 years old on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, outer Hebrides. Easiest way to reach it is via Stornoway (main port and airport). The layout of the monument is in the shape of a distorted Celtic cross.
These Callanish Stones (or 'Callanish I'), Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Gaelic, are situated near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), Scotland. Construction of the site probably took place around 2900 and 2600 BC, though there were possibly earlier buildings before 3000 BC. A tomb was later built into the site. Thirteen primary stones form a circle about 13 metres in diameter, with a long approach avenue of stones to the north, and shorter stone rows to the east, south, and west (possibly incomplete avenues). The overall layout of the monument recalls a distorted Celtic cross. The individual stones vary from around 1 m to 5 m in height, with an average of 4 metres, and are of the local course Lewisian gneiss.
The site is very haunting at sunset when the visitors have gone.
