Dun Eistean is an Island
just off the shore in Knockaird in Ness, right in between Port of Ness
and the Butt of Lewis. Taking a small bridge across the gap between the
Island and Ness you will almost feel like you have walked into a land of
peace. While you listen to the birds you can admire the scenery of the
sunset in winter or in summer you can watch the sea and admire the
scenery.
Dun Eistean
used to be the hide out for the Ness Morrisons while they were battling
the Uig Macaulays. Cnoc Fianuis was their look-out point where they
could see for miles around. They would send a few men to keep a look-out,
and if they were to come running back it was because their arch-enemies
the Macaulays were coming. They would all immediately go onto the
Island and hide. With the Macaulays still on the land, the Morrisons
would wait until they were heading home before attacking.
