Editing Isle of Lewis (section)

=== Sport ===
[[File:lewisshinty.PNG|thumb|right|Badge of [[Lewis Camanachd]]]]There is a good provision of sporting grounds and sports centres in Lewis. Sports such as [[association football|football]], [[rugby union]] and [[golf]] are popular:

* Football, which grew in popularity after the first World War, is the most popular amateur sport in Lewis with Goathill Park in Stornoway hosting special matches involving select teams and visiting clubs and other organisations. Local teams currently participate in the [[Lewis and Harris Football League]].
* [[Shinty]] which was traditionally played in the island as in the rest of the Scottish Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland, died out by the mid-20th century at the latest. However, it was revived in the 1990s and there is now a strong local club known as [[Lewis Camanachd]] which competes in national competition.
* The village of Tong about {{convert|2|mi|km|sigfig=1}} from Stornoway plays host to the [[Highland Games]] and the [[Western Isles Strongest man]] competition each summer.
* Attached to the [[Nicolson Institute]] School is the Ionad Spors Leòdhais (Lewis Sports Centre), an all-weather pitch and running track.
* The Lews Castle Grounds is the home of Stornoway [[Golf]] Club (the only 18-hole golf course in the Outer Hebrides).
* [[Angling]] is a very popular pastime in Lewis as there are several good lochs and rivers for fishing.
* As Lewis is an island, various water sports, such as [[surfing]] are popular activities.
* Lewis has a terrain very suited to [[hillwalking]], particularly in Uig and near the ''border'' with [[Harris, Outer Hebrides|Harris]].
