Uig Heritage Centre, Timsgarry, Uig, Isle of Lewis
In the remote and beautiful region of Uig in the Isle of Lewis, Uig Heritage Centre offers a fascinating glimpse into the island’s Norse and Gaelic past. This small but captivating heritage museum is home to replicas of the world‑famous Lewis Chessmen - 12th‑century Viking chess pieces discovered on Uig Beach and now recognised as some of Scotland’s most iconic archaeological treasures.

The centre provides a welcoming stop for anyone travelling through the west coast of Lewis, offering insight into the landscape, people and heritage that shaped this remarkable part of the Outer Hebrides.
A must‑visit for history lovers, families and anyone curious about the origins of the Lewis Chessmen, Uig Heritage Centre brings the past to life in one of the most scenic corners of the islands.
