Lying 6 miles south of Stornoway, the area is divided into North Lochs which covers the territory between Loch Erisort to Stornoway, and South Lochs which stretches south to Glen Ouirn and the head of Loch Seaforth.
A couple of well-stocked community shops can be found in the area. For eating out, there is the café found within the Ravenspoint Centre, and the Loch Erisort Inn which serves quality traditional pub food.
