The Museum & Tasglann nan Eilean in Stornoway features background and history of the culture of the Outer Hebrides. It also features artefacts dating from prehistory to the present day, and a public archive. It is situated in the grounds of Lews Castle, in a building inspired by the former glasshouses. The museum introduces life in the Outer Hebrides from prehistory to the present including archaeological finds on loan from National Museum Scotland. The gift shop has a small range of individual replicas of the Lewis Chessman available for purchase.
I do really loved the place. So much to get to know about people themselves Islanders. Eeach person = one story. If you have some time to spare, definitely worth going there. Btw no need to follow google maps route to the roundabout when walking, there is a direct shortcut with signs straight to the castle museum few meters before.
Very interesting to visit, very friendly volunteers, i especially did like the room where you can see the island trough the seasons, mòran taing, thig mi air ais gu cinnteach.
NB this is a review of the grounds as we did not visit the museum. There are many lovely walks in the castle grounds affording good views of the harbour and town, and of the castle. Statues like the Gruffalo help to make it kid friendly too. Just a great place for a peaceful walk.
Lovely museum with a cafe and shop. Seeing some of the Lewis Chess pieces was a highlight. The most fun you can have in Stornaway with your kilt on
