My number one fueling station in Stornoway/on the Isles of Lewis and Harris to-date is the Spar in Stornoway. I stayed in the Outer Isles four days and three nights for the first time from Wednesday 10 to Saturday 13 July 2019, and this was my go-to for fueling up as needed. I did a lot of driving around the isles and loved the location of this station, not because it was in the center of the isles (it was not), but rather because of its proximity to food stores. I could come in for supplies and fuel up at the same time.
Pumping stalls were cleanly and the fueling area easy to maneuver in and out of. Merging onto the street was easy as well. The station had a small convenience store with goods available. I opted to buy something in the store once as a throwback to shopping at Spar for candy and other goods when I lived in South Africa (first half of 2012). read more
