Mo Dhuthaich
Air feasgar ciùin samhraidh
's e Tràigh Shanndaigh mo mhiann
A bòidhchead cha ghann e
's i greannmhor na fiamh
I cur fàilt' air an alltan
tha ruith mall ris an t-sliabh
Gus an tèid e air chall
ann an greann a' Chuain Siar |

There
are several beautiful sandy beaches within 1-2 miles of the
accommodation, offering excellent surfing conditions and long intimate
walks along the Atlantic periphery.
Nearby
is the award-winning Eoropie Dunes play park, a local
Historical Society Museum, a
licensed social club and a hotel/pub.
Dun Eistean, a small accessible
island off the Ness mainland, is the ancestral home of the Clan Morrison
and the current site of a comprehensive 4-year archaeological survey. |
|
|
The Islands Book Trust, with
its unique and comprehensive collection of books on Scottish and local
history, is open to the public, as is an adjoining quilt making
business.
The nearby
Lionel School
offers lunches during the school year, and has a community swimming pool
for public use. The school is also the
site of a £1.8 million leisure and sports centre that is scheduled to be
completed in the summer of 2006. |
 |
|
| |
 |
The
accommodation is within easy access of local amenities, such as
well-provisioned mini-markets, Post Offices, a petrol station and local
restaurants.
Further information on
Ness, local organisations and amenities, as well as a Community Diary
can be found on the Iomairt Nis
website |
|
| And for
those who prefer to ‘stay at home’, mobile shop operators and food
producers can also deliver fresh bread, groceries, meat, vegetables,
fish and shellfish, milk and local free range eggs to your door. |

The
coastline provides stunning scenery and is a natural habitat for
many sea birds, such as gannet, cormorant, shank and several type of
gull, to name but a few.
Loch Stiapabhat, a small
inland lake, has recently been designated the first Local Nature Reserve
(LNR) to be established in the Western Isles. |
 |
|
|
The Loch Stiapabhat site has
been described by Andy Robinson of Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) as, “A
very rare and unique habitat in Lewis terms, which provides vital feeding
and breeding habitat for several important species of birds, including the
ever dwindling corncrake.”
The Loch is situated within the
Ness and Barvas Special Protection Area established to conserve this rare
bird and its habitat. Loch Stiapabhat’s position at the Northern end of
Lewis, makes it the first standing water to greet migrant birds flying in
from the north in Autumn and the last re-fuelling post for birds heading
north to breed in the Spring. The area now has a purpose built hide for
bird watchers. |

|
|
The main town of Stornoway,
with its airport and ferry links to the island, is just a short
forty-minute drive from the accommodation. Many stunning attractions,
such as the world famous Calanish Stones, are located within easy
driving distance.
Car hire is
available on the island and, for those who wish to leave their car behind, a
local taxi service is only a phone call away.
