Leurbost (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) south of Stornoway on the road to Harris. It is the main settlement in the area of the island known as North Lochs. Leurbost is within the parish of Lochs.[1]
History
In 1856 reports circulated of a 'sea-serpent' in a fresh water loch near the town.[2] The creature, referred to as Searrach Uisge, was said to be eel-like, 40 feet (12 metres) long and raised comparisons to the mythical Kelpie.[2][3]
Economy
Amenities in the village include a community centre; a school, Sgoil nan Loch (which replaced the old Leurbost as well as Fidigarry (Ranish), Knockiandue (Keose) and Balallan schools); a petrol station and a shop. The school caters for children from nursery age through primary 1–7.
