In memory of one of the islands greatest tradgedies, the Iolaire Memorial. Take time out to ponder history and see the beasts of Holm that took the lives of so many in World War 1.

Just after the New Year bells, the Iolaire struck the "Beasts of Holm" in 1919, just on approach to Stornoway. The boat was full of sailors returning to their families and loved ones following WW1. The tragic loss of 205 men is still felt deeply today.

This memorial is well worth a visit when you’re in Stornoway. A ship bringing local men back after the First World War, struck rocks just outside of Stornoway. A terrible tragedy as 205 men were lost within sight of the harbour.

His Majesty's Yacht Iolaire was an Admiralty yacht that sank with great loss of life at the entrance to Stornoway harbour on the Isle of Lewis on 1 January 1919.
