Port Of Ness, Isle Of Lewis, HS2 0TH

Port of Ness, also known in Scottish Gaelic as Port Nis, is a village situated on the Isle of Lewis in the community of Ness, part of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The village lies within the northernmost part of the Isle of Lewis, an area that comprises about sixteen villages including Lionel, Habost, Swainbost, Cross, North and South Dell, Cross Skigersta, Skigersta, Eorodale, Adabroc, Knockaird, Fivepenny and Eoropie. Ness was historically the most north‑westerly community in the European Union while the United Kingdom was a member, and its most northerly point is the Butt of Lewis. The name Ness derives from the old Norse word for headland, and many of the other place names in the area also have Norse origins, reflecting the historical influence in the region.
