Lews Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Leòdhais) is a Victorian era castle located west of the town of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It was built in the years 1844–51 as a country house for Sir James Matheson who had bought the whole island a few years previously with his fortune from the Chinese opium trade .
Kisimul Castle, built on a tiny island off the shore of Castlebay, dates from the 15th century, [5] while the two other A-listed castles at Amhuinnsuidhe and Lews are Victorian. Functional architecture includes three important lighthouses , including Eilean Glas, the first lighthouse in the Western Isles.
The Lews Castle Grounds is the home of Stornoway Golf Club (the only 18-hole golf course in the Outer Hebrides). Angling is a very popular pastime in Lewis as there are several good lochs and rivers for fishing. As Lewis is an island, various water sports, such as surfing are popular activities.
