Uig Museum tells the story of the villages of Uig on the Isle of Lewis, run by volunteers from the Comunn Eachdraidh Uig since 1978. Inside you'll find replicas of a Viking house and a traditional blackhouse, archaeological finds including the McVean Hoard, a historical timeline, and portraits of men lost in the Iolaire disaster, alongside a photographic archive linked to the famous Lewis Chessmen (found nearby at Ardroil). It suits anyone interested in Hebridean history, genealogy or archaeology, and the team welcomes research visits and group bookings with prior notice. Based in Na h-Eileanan Siar, it makes a fitting stop if you're exploring the area, with 7 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
