  • Carloway Broch at Carloway on the Isle of Lewis is believed to date from 100 to 300 BC.  Though massive it is not thought to be a fortification as such, but a impressive dwelling for a small community.Dun Carloway (in Scottish Gaelic Dùn Chàrlabhaigh) is a broch situated in the district of Carloway, on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It is a remarkably well preserved broch - on the east side parts of the old wall still reaches to 9 metres tall. In places there are also more modern repairs to the east wall. At the base the broch is around 14 to 15 metres in diameter and the walls around 3 metres thick.<br />
Dun Carloway was probably built some time in the 1st century BC, and radiocarbon dating evidence from remains found in the broch show that it was last occupied around 1300 AD.

  • The dramatic bay at Uig creates a huge beach as the tides drain out every day on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. Flowers grow profusely the machair, soils formed by blow shell sand from the beaches.  The surrounding dunes are held in place by colonizing grasses.  The dunes are also famous as the site where the Lewis Chessmen were found, thousand year old chess pieces found in the dunes.

  • The Callanish Stones (or "Callanish I"), Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Gaelic, are situated near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), Scotland ( 58°11?51?N, 06°44?41?W).<br />
Construction of the site took place between 2900 and 2600 BC, though there were possibly earlier buildings before 3000 BC. A tomb was later built into the site. Debris from the destruction of the tomb suggests the site was out of use between 2000 BC and 1700 BC.[1] The 13 primary stones form a circle about 13 m in diameter, with a long approach avenue of stones to the north, and shorter stone rows to the east, south, and west (possibly incomplete avenues). The overall layout of the monument recalls a distorted Celtic cross. The individual stones vary from around 1 m to 5 m in height, with an average of 4 m, and are of the local Lewisian gneiss.

  • Duncan MacDonald out at his peat cuttings near Gisla, Uig, on the Isle of Lewis.  Even though he has oil heating in his home now Duncan likes having the peat to burn on a winter evening.  He's been cutting peat since he was a "wee boy."  The spade he carries is a special peat cutting tool that cuts the blocks that have been laid out to dry.  Peat cutting is a two man job, with one cutting and the other throwing.
