We visited 1st of march and the weather was nice for the first hour so managed to get to see the Callanish stones.. but then the rain and wind came in, so we drove to the northern point of lewis. The sea was wild and little hidden coves everywhere with white sand beaches and blue sea.. absolutely stunning! But there was no paddling for us today! But it was a beautiful sight non the less. Driving through the island was very samey.. pebbledashed house after pebble dashed house rusting cars, reminiscent of steptoes yard.. Pete bogs and barrenness..
That said its dotted with a lot of lochs.. which I would think are good for a wild swim.. it was so quiet on the island when we visited on the west side. But we had people just hitchhiking with their shopping to get home and random travellers.
Everyone seems really friendly though.

Visited Isle of Lewis, Balallan, October 2023. Great weather if you know how to layer & like the cold & rain, beaches & lochs & landscape are just gorgeous. Got Covid 19 during visit.

Wonderful and at times wild atmosphere and brooding weather made this an exceptional autumn visit. The ancient feel to parts of these islands is incredible and spirit lifting !

A beautiful spot with the houses so well cared for. Some are rented out. One still in the original condition as it was when lived in the 70s. A working weaver too. A must on your places to see.

Let's start by saying that nobody comes to Lewis/Harris for the weather.If you have a kite bring it! Been twice.First week 2 good days,second time the weather was wet and windy practically all the tim.That said ,still come as the weather changes by the hour.There are tropical (looking) beaches totally unspoiled,you can have them all to yourselves as they seem unchanged since time began.Rugged mountains on Lewis and unspoiled little islands like Scalpay only accesible from Lewis by a bridge.The village at Arnol and the Callanish stones are a step into the past.
A different world if you need a change

Lewis has my heart! A memorable trip that will stay with me for a long time.
Great for wilderness, the rough seas (and stunning beaches!), the welcoming people and the locally sourced food.
