Stornoway High Church
As churches go here on the island this is one of the better looking ones mainly owing to the fine bell tower. Known as the United Free High Church it's celebrating its centenary as the ministry took possession of the church building in July 1909. It sits at the junction of Matheson Road and Goathill Road and is viewed from the junction of Matheson Road and Church Street.

Clock Tower
Built in 1902, this fine tower once had a building joined to it, known as the Clock School. This was demolished it 1972 to make way for the sports centre, the tower was incorporated into the design. That sports centre was demolished in about 2005 and a new one constructed behind the council offices which is out of view to the right. Many people wanted this tower demolished on both occasions but common sense eventually prevailed.
