About
The sheltered harbour was named "Steering Bay" by the Vikings which, which phonetically translated became the name "Stornoway"A walk through the castle grounds and up to the top of 'Gallows Hill' brings you to a fine viewpoint to take a picture of Stornoway Harbour. The best time is probably on a autumn morning when the trees are at their most colourful.
Photographers Tip
Winter is also a good time for this location with nice side lighting of the Castle and harbour.
