Built around 1860 by Sir James Matheson, this castle was restored to its former glory and reopened to the public in 2016. Take a walk through the ballroom, morning room, library and dining room. A museum is accessed through the castle and gives further insight into the people and history of the islands.

From the 1920s, this whalebone arch was erected following the harpooning of a blue whale off the west coast of Lewis. The whalebone still has the harpoon in place.
