Scope and Content Custom House, Stornoway Harbour, Lewis, Ross and Cromarty Stornoway Harbour is essentially a natural inlet, improved by the construction of an outer breakwater, two piers, and a long line of quays forming an inner harbour. These works were constructed over a long period, starting in the 1780s. This view shows the custom house built to control the trade in dutiable goods through the harbour. Its neat and styish appearance mark it out as a building with an important function. Stornoway was, and remains, the only port of any significance in the Isle of Lewis.
