Setting off from Stornoway, you’ll travel across the Isle of Lewis to the parish of Ness and the charming little harbour of Port Ness. The community is a stronghold of the Gaelic language and has the highest percentage of Gaelic speakers in the country. For generations, Ness has been home to many seafarers – the main industry - which are celebrated in the work of local artists. Enjoy some free time around the harbour area and visit the Harbour View Gallery to admire some of the art pieces.

There is no entrance fee, however Your Shore Time makes a donation to the church in support of the upkeep.
