Lewis War Memorial, War memorial in Stornoway, Scotland
The Lewis War Memorial stands as an 85-foot-high tower constructed from local Gneiss stone and Aberdeenshire granite at the summit of Cnoc nan Uan hill.
Built in 1924, this memorial honors the Lewis soldiers who died in World War I and those who perished in the 1919 sinking of HMY Iolaire.
The structure contains four distinct chambers representing each parish of Lewis, preserving the names of fallen soldiers from these local communities.
The memorial includes outdoor commemorative plaques along a viewing path, with recent renovations in 2017 improving accessibility for visitors.
The restoration project received £132,000 from the War Memorials Trust, marking their largest financial contribution to any memorial program.
