Disused power station at Stornoway
Power is now supplied to Lewis by submarine cable, in addition to its own wind-generated power.

It operated from 1876-1919 and was responsible for the training of thousands of men from Lewis, Harris and Wester Ross. The site was subsequently used as a lookout by HM Coastguard [during which time they were involved in trying to rescue people from 'HMY Iolaire' which was wrecked with the loss of 205 lives.
