Old Photograph Port of Ness Island of Lewis Scotland
Old photograph of houses and cottages in Port of Ness on the Island of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Port of Ness is within the parish of Barvas and is situated at the end of the A857, which runs from Stornoway. The harbour was constructed in the early 19th century. An enlargement was built in 1893, with a breakwater added the following year. Each year men from Ness district sail from the port to Sula Sgeir in the Atlantic Ocean in order to collect young gannets for food. The boathouse at the harbour features in the Peter May novels, The Blackhouse and The Lewis Man. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
