Old travel Blog photograph of the golf course clubhouse by Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The history of the Stornoway Golf Club dates to 1890. However, the original course was located on the site of the present day airport. Golfers enjoyed the game at the original site until the beginning of the Second World War when the Air Ministry acquired the site. After the end of the war, the Club was given compensation which allowed it to move to the present site on the Lews Castle grounds. The game of golf has been played on the current site since 1947.
