Lewis, Lews Castle College

Musket Ball (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Lews Castle College stands in Na h-Eileanan Siar as a musket ball, small enough to fit in a palm yet heavy enough to mark the difference between distance and flesh. The college has absorbed that tiny violence into its walls, where students still walk past rooms that once heard powder fire. A marble hall can become a gun chamber when people stop asking permission from the past.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lewis, Lews Castle College as Musket Ball (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
