Stornoway Bed and Breakfast Accommodation
Stornoway is often refered to as the "Capital of the Western Isles" but, although the town is the main town of the Isle of Lewis and the Western Isles it is only a compact town with a population of around 10,000 souls. This is about a third of the population it was at the beginning of the twentieth century during the peak of the herring fishing trade. At that time Stornoway had a seasonal population which increased to around 30,000 when the herring fleet was working from the town's harbour. Unfortunately most of the trade was with towns around the Baltic and, after the First World War the towns had developed their own fleets and the market no longer existed, and Stornoway fell into sharp decline.
Today the town of Stornoway is still the busiest place in the Western Isles and, over the last few decades the town has become rather a popular tourist destination. Below you will find a selection of bed and breakfast establishments in the town of Stornoway.
