Sealg ionhmas nan eilean siar is a multicache with lovely views of Stornoway, the name of the cache is in Scottish Gaelic and translates to Treasure hunt - Western Isles.
Lewis War Memorial - A lasting tribute to those 1,150 Leodhasaich who gave their lives - for their island and their country - in two world wars. The memorial takes the form of a Scottish Baronial Tower rising to a height of over 85 feet. Internally, the tower is divided into an arched entrance chamber 20 feet high, and four upper chambers accessed by square and circular steel stairs and by granite turnpike stairs to the turret. A separate chamber was allotted to each of the four parishes of Lewis and in each, bronze plaques were mounted, bearing the inscriptions of every one of the fallen. The stairs allowed visitors to access the view of the Parishes from whence the dead had come. The dressed work is of fine axed Aberdeenshire granite, the walls are of native Gneiss and the floors of reinforced concrete. Cache is well hidden so look around carefully and beware of the steep drop nearby! There is also some sheep in the area, dont worry they wont bite......much! (Joking) :-p just try to avoid them if you can. Please Participate in CITO!!!
