Welcome to the community website for the district of Point on the Hebridean island of Lewis. This website has been commissioned by the Point Community Council to promote and provide information about the district.

Found on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis, Point is a small peninsula joined to the rest of the island by a narrow isthmus of golden sands one mile long and barely 100m wide. Point has a proud heritage and a distinctive character of its own.  From the dramatic memorial cairn sitting prominently on the Braighe to the towering beacon of the Tiumpanhead lighthouse, Point is a place of beautiful scenery, remarkable history, stunning wildlife and vibrant communities. 

Point (an Rudha in Gaelic) is currently home to approximately 2000 people, inhabiting 14 villages along the 11 mile length of the peninsula. Community spirit is strong and much work is being done to develop and revitalise facilities such as community centres and the Point playing fields.  Gaelic is spoken by many in the area and people work to maintain the area's cultural heritage.
