Stornoway (; (スコットランド・ゲール語:Steòrnabhagh)) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland. The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Outer Hebrides (with a third of the population). The civil parish of Stornoway, including various nearby villages, has a population of approximately 12,000. Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to ''Comhairle nan Eilean Siar'' (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland. ==Gaelic== According to the 2011 Census, there are 5,492 Gaelic speakers (43%) in the greater Stornoway area.〔("Census shows Gaelic declining in its heartlands" ).
