Iolare Memorial

Reviewed By Mad-on-Maldives

We made the brief detour here on the way to Stornoway airport, not far but well worth the easy walk from the car park area. The story brought tears to my eyes. As you stand there, read the inscriptions, look out to sea and imagine what the men had already endured, they were so near home yet so many lost their lives so close to the shore. The work that had been completed here for the centenary of this disaster is brilliant, new tarmac walkway, lots of information boards along the way. The new memorial states all the names of the people who lost their lives, it really tugs at the heartstrings.

A lovely place to wander around be it a quiet walk around the far side where the castle is or amongst the shops and cafes on the busier side or just to sit and watch the boats in the harbour
