The west coast of the Isle of Lewis, boasts a rich history, stretching back thousands of years. Early inhabitants, including Neolithic farmers, left behind evidence of their presence in the form of stone circles and settlements. The island's history includes periods of Viking influence and clan rivalries. The Vikings began settling in Lewis in the 9th century AD, after years of raiding the island. They intermarried with the local population, and the islands became part of the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles, which was under Norwegian control. During the medieval period, Lewis was divided among powerful clans, with the MacLeods, Morisons, and MacNicol family being prominent. The island was part of the feudal system, with land and protection exchanged for military service. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American.
