Gress (Template:Langx), a hamlet on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, is adjacent to the larger village of Back. Gress is within the parish of Stornoway.[1] Between 1919 and 1921, Gress – along with nearby Coll and Tong – was the scene of several land raids.[2]
Historical sites
The corn mill at Gress was built in the 19th century and used until the early 20th century. The two-storey building is in a state of ruin. There is a millstone still present.[3] Other sites include the Star Inn, considered one of the oldest buildings in Stornoway (dating back to 1756) and the Lews Castle.
Geography and geology
Gress is situated on the B895, between Stornoway and North Tolsta.[citation needed]
