We visit this gallery everytime we´re on the island. it´s simply the BEST gallery...excellent choice of ranging from fine art to quality craft and souvenirs. Prices are fair...quality is high. Incidentally...one of the very few spots where the owner/s aren´t simply pushing their own "products". The gallery is the main reason we stop off here with very helpful and knowledgeable... More

The flat, desolate bog-land of Lewis is a landscape that's not everyone's cup of tea. This was the case with my partner. Fortunately, therefore, we found the The Morven Gallery and coffee shop, which at least offered a beverage that was to her taste. A very well-appointed gallery, displaying artwork and some craftwork related to the Hebrides, and a very... More

Wonderful works of art (Though some are a little overpriced). The owner/s are under no illusion though and know that most people visit purely for the Coffee/ tea shop which is part of the gallery.

I always visit this place when I'm visiting Lewis. If you're taking the main road from Stornoway out to the West Side, it's a short detour from the main road at Barvas. It's a gorgeous building, filled with light, beautiful paintings and interesting objects in the gift shop. It's well worth a visit even just for the fantastic coffee and... More

Housed in the steadings of an old manse, the gallery is flooded with light and has wonderful views out to the Atlantic ocean. The gallery has a fine collection of local artists along with some other well known Scottish painters. The paintings are beautifully displayed and reasonably priced with something for most pockets. In addition to the paintings, there is... More
