Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1W1 - Stornoway (Gaelic: Steòrnabhagh) 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 D8HT0R - 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 iThere's 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 young person piece./i

One day I may have the chance to 'Chill out with Slush' .
Note that a Smokie is not a reference to that English rock band from Bradford who found success in Europe in the 1970s.
Some of the glowing reviews I found for the place included.......

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.

Notably it is opposite the (unlicensed) Thai Cafe which is undoubtedly one of the crown jewels of Stornoway, Lewis and the whole of the Western Isles.

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.
Those lovely standing stones, west of the town can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3828011848/

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.
