Welcome to the Parish website.

Our parish church is to be found in Stornoway, the main town in Lewis, but the parish covers the whole of the Isle of Lewis and the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. This is a stunningly beautiful part of Scotland and our parish is the most northerly in the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles. There is much information to be found by exploring our website and we hope that you will enjoy doing so. Even better, come and visit us.
