What to do and see in Isle of Lewis, Scotland: The Best Shopping

January 29, 2022 Elouise Mccaul

A visit to the Isle of Lewis is like stepping into the pages of a Scottish fairy tale. Everywhere you look, medieval structures remind you of the island’s remarkable history. The legendary Callanish Standing Stones poke up from the ground like a strange and massive stone city. The Blackhouse, the Shawbost Norse Mill and Kiln, and the Carloway Broch all offer insight into what life on Lewis used to look like. Cheerful Stornoway boasts a charming, colorful harbor and several lovely restaurants and pubs.

Hebridean Soap Company

Reviewed By kathleendV6097DX - Calgary, Canada

This is an amazing little shop that is well worth the detour to reach it! The owner and staff are fantastic and truly enjoy what they do and it shows in their products. We were warmly greeted, the smell of the shop was heavenly and she had samples out that you could smell...We received an impromptu tour of the soap-making facility (which was fascinating), were greeted by their lovely whippet puppy (official greeter), and enjoyed perusing the shop and all of it's lovely soap products! We bought quite a bundle and the soaps are fabulous! Loverly lather, fragrance and they last. While you can buy these soaps in several of the museums around the island, I highly recommend that you take time to stop at the shop itself! It's worth it!! :)
