Panoramic Lewis

Scenic Countryside Drive and Ancient Dun Carloway Discover the idyllic countryside of the Isle of Lewis en route to the ancient Scottish broch of Dun Carloway. Embark on a panoramic drive through the isle’s varied landscape, a patchwork of farmland, rolling hills and peat bogs dotted with small villages. Your knowledgeable guide will provide commentary as you travel to the slopes above the shores of Loch Carloway, the site of a 1st-century BC broch—a rounded stone structure native to Scotland. A fine example of drystone construction built without using mortar or cement, Dun Carloway was one of Scotland’s first officially protected monuments. Though much of the broch’s stone has been repurposed over the centuries, large portions of its 30-foot-high outer and inner wall still stand tall. Learn about the broch’s possible uses while enjoying time for photos, then board your motor coach for the journey back to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
