Shawbost ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Siabost)) is a large township in the West Side of the Isle of Lewis. The village of Shawbost has a population of around 500 and lies around to the west of the island's capital Stornoway. Shawbost is within the parish of Barvas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewis, Shawbost, General )〕 A recent development in the village was the renovation of the old school into the new community centre. The community is split into three sections: North Shawbost ''(Siabost a Tuath)'', South Shawbost ''(Siabost a Deas)''and New Shawbost ''(Pàirc Shiaboist)''. There is a small museum of folk life and nearby is a small stone circle. The village is also overlooked by a small hill named Beinn Bhragair, 261 m high, and situated near to a beach. Shawbost is a prominent village on the Island of Lewis, due to the school, community centre, beach and Harris Tweed Mill. == Shawbost School == The local school has both secondary and primary teaching units. Shawbost School has a roll of 86 pupils between 5-14 years of age.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome / Failte )〕 The school also acts as an optional Secondary school for children from the neighbouring villages of Carloway, Bragar, Arnol, Bru and Barvas. The children's other option is to transfer directly to the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway. The present school building was opened in 1992〔 and provided the village, along with the neighbouring villages, with various facilities. These facilities include a community library, games hall, swimming pool, outdoor football park〔 and shinty, all which can be used by the public in addition to a kitchen and meeting rooms. The school has both permanently based teachers in addition to visiting staff〔 who teach at many other local schools in addition to Shawbost. This allows the children who attend the school to receive the best education possible when it comes to subjects such as Art and Music. The school is as of May 2011 the home of shinty in Lewis. It is the home park of Lewis Camanachd. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shawbost」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
