About Stornoway - show infohide info
Stornoway is a burgh on Lewis in the Outer Hebredes, in Scotland, with a population of approximately 8000 inhabitants. It is the major town, and adminsitrative centre for the Outer Hebredes, and is home to the Western Isles local council. Though Gaelic is a common language on the island, English is still used as the primary language, and Stornoway is unique in that it is one of the few towns in which most of its road signs are written in English. The town grew around three villages including the fishing port in the natural harbour. Today, ferries sail to Ullapool on the Scottish mainland. Fishing is not as large an industry as it once was, however it is still an important economic activity in the town. Notable buildings in Stornoway include Stornoway Town Hall, home to an art gallery, and the neo-gothic Lews Castle. Other attractions include a museum and the Lewis Loom Centre. The town is also home to a studio of Grampian Television, a further education college and a small campus of the University of Stirling, teaching nursing. Stornoway is also home to the Outer Hebrides' only 18-hole golf course. The town has an airport, serving the town and islands of the Outer Hebrides. The airport sees regular flights by British Airways (to Glasgow, Inverness and Edinburgh; operated by franchise partner Loganair), Highland Airways (to Benbecula and Inverness) and bmi (to Edinburgh).
