The Ravenspoint Centre at Kershader is the gateway to South Lochs, the hidden jewel of Lewis: an area with a strong Gaelic culture, dramatic history, beautiful scenery, coastal villages, and rare wildlife.

Ravenspoint, a former school building, is owned by Co-Chomunn na Pairc, one of the original community co-operatives established in the 1970s. Today we run a well-stocked community shop, small tea-room for light meals and refreshments, 14-bed hostel, and visitor attractions such as the remarkable Angus Macleod Archive and local history museum.

The Centre is run by and on behalf of the community to provide vital local services to a scattered population of about 400 people. Our aims are to help reverse over a century of population decline through providing attractive facilities for local people and visitors alike.

Come and visit us, learn about the history and environment of South Lochs, and then go on to explore a largely unknown area.

You can be assured of a warm welcome.
