Stornoway Stornoway is the main town and port for Lewis. It is also base for many fishing boats which crowd the harbour every weekend. There has been settlement here since Neolithic times, but it was only in the 18th century that the town reached any size, due to its excellent harbour and the start of the Herring fishing.
