The Isle of Lewis may be the most populated of the Western Isles group but you certainly wouldn't know it. The most northerly island of the Hebrides is far removed from city life and popular with hikers, ramblers and lovers of wildlife all keen to explore the island's rolling moorland, wind-blown beaches, gentle hills, lochans and rugged coastline.
The island's history is rich, evident in the surviving Gaelic tongue in areas, the presence of 'Bost' in most names (a nod to the island's Viking past), as well as the ancient Callanish standing stones that predate the Egyptian Pyramids.
