Location
Stornoway is an important port and the principal administrative town of the Isle of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, also known as the Western Isles. The Outer Hebrides is an archipelago of over 70 named islands lying off the north-west coast of Scotland. Stornoway is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. The Caledonian MacBrayne operated ferry MV Loch Seaforth has been sailing since 2015, from Stornoway harbour to Ullapool on the Scottish mainland, taking 2 hours 30 minutes.
There are an average of two return crossings a day: more in summer than in winter. Stornoway is the hub of bus routes in Lewis with buses running to Point, Ness, Back and Tolsta, Uig, the West Side, Lochs and Tarbert, Harris. The bus timetable is operated by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and several private operators. Stornoway Airport is located next to the village of Melbost, 2 miles east of the town with flights to Benbecula, Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow, all operated by Loganair. The airport is also the base of an HM Coastguard Search & Rescue Sikorsky S-92 helicopter and was previously home to RAF Stornoway.
