About

Steòrnabhagh a Deas is the southern electoral ward of Stornoway, the main town on the Isle of Lewis. It encompasses the residential and industrial areas south of the town centre, extending towards the airport at the head of East Loch Roag. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Goathill and Plasterfield, characterised by housing estates and local amenities serving the community.

The landscape here is a mix of urban development and open moorland, with the Creed River running through the area. A notable local feature is the historical Lews Castle grounds, with its extensive woodland walks bordering the ward to the north. The ward's southern edges transition into the more rural landscapes of the island's peatlands.
