EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the picturesque harbour and historic castle of Stornoway, the main town on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The photograph, taken circa 1853, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bustling activity of the harbor as fishing boats and other vessels come and go. In the background, the imposing ruins of Stornoway Castle stand proudly, a reminder of the town's rich history. Stornoway Castle, also known as Lewismore Castle, was built in the late 16th century by the Macleods of Lewismore, a powerful Scottish clan. The castle was later seized by the British during the Jacobite uprising of 1715 and was used as a military garrison until the late 18th century. Today, the ruins of the castle are a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a chance to learn about the history of the Isle of Lewis and the Outer Hebrides. The harbor of Stornoway has long been an important economic hub for the island, with its strategic location making it a key trading post for the Outer Hebrides. The town's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean also made it an important fishing center, with herring being a major source of income for the local population. This photograph provides a fascinating insight into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Stornoway and the Isle of Lewis over 160 years ago. The image captures the beauty and charm of the town, with its historic castle and bustling harbor, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in Scottish history and culture.
