5 Best Shops in Stornoway

Stornoway has a wide range of shops that make shopping here on the Isle of Lewis such an enjoyable experience.

With most of the shops in town being independently owned you’ll find everything you need here in the biggest town of the Outer Hebrides. And here you will find 5 of the best shops in Stornoway.

We get a lot of visitors to Stornoway: independent travellers, tourists doing the Hebridean Way, those discovering the Outer Hebrides for the first or coming back for the tenth time, cruise ship day visitors and family and friends coming back to visit. We have a great range of shops in Stornoway and there are so many more than just 5. These are just some of the ones I love because the shop owners are great and work hard at creating a friendly welcome and have a unique range of products for their customers. Of course I’m going to include myself because I love my shop and hope you discover it next time you visit Stornoway.

I hope you find this useful in planning your shopping trip to Stornoway and will be looking at adding new blog posts on places to eat, visit and more in the Outer Hebrides.
