Excursion Panoramic lewis tour at Stornoway

Depart the capital of Stornoway, travel across the beautiful west coast of the island to the site of Dun Carloway Pictish Broch. Probably built sometime in the last century BC, it would have served as an occasionally defensible residence for an extended family complete with accommodation for animals at ground floor level. It would also have served as a visible statement of power in the local area.

Return to the ship via the scenic roads with a local guide providing commentary.
