Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Nis) is the name given to the northern part of the Isle of Lewis. The area includes the villages and crofting communities of Lionel, Habost, Swainbost, Cross, North and South Dell, Cross Skigersta, Skigersta, Eoradale, Adabrock, Port of Ness, Knockaird, Fivepenny and Eoropie. Ness has the distinction of being the most north-westerly community in the European Union is also an important area for migratory birds.
Ness is accessible via the A857 road and is about 25 miles (40 km) by road from Stornoway. There is also a coastal path from North Tolsta to Skigersta that runs for about 10 miles (16 km) along the east coast of Lewis.
Gaelic is the primary language of the community.
Landmarks include the 13th-century Teampull Mholuaidh in Eoropie and the small island of Dùn Èistean which is the ancestral home of the Lewis Morrisons, which is now bridged and archaeological excavations have been taking place there.
Each year 10 men from Ness go out to the island of Sula Sgeir in late August for two weeks to harvest around 2,000 young gannets known locally as Guga. The Guga is a Ness tradition and favourite.
