Stornoway Christmas lights switched on

5 December 2020

Stornoway’s Christmas lights display have been switched on.

Organisers, Western Isles Lottery, were forced to shelve the public switch-on event this year due to strict Covid restrictions.

Stornoway Town Hall is also being illuminated over the festive season.

Janet Paterson of the lottery team said: “We are all trying to make this years’ festive season as close to normal as possible for everyone, not least, to encourage local shopping by making the town centre attractive to visit, which will hopefully increase footfall.”
