Once the indulgence of island lairds, today the lands are owned and used by islanders, having been gifted to the people of Stornoway by the last resident of the Castle - the infamous Lord Leverhulme. From gentle walks and golf to car rallies and music festivals, the Castle Grounds is used by a host of people for a host of reasons. The park, or "the Grounds" are held in huge affection by the people of Stornoway and are a great surprise for visitors to the town. Run by a community trust which is elected by the townsfolk, the acres of ancients trees , shrubs, pathways and formal gardens are managed by a hardy team of groundsmen and estate workers. Through four seasons cameras stayed with the grounds; the users and the workers to chart a year in this treasure of a park. In the third programme we'll see the unique Stornoway Waterwheel which was built in 2005; Stornoway Trust, who manage the Castle Grounds, hold their quarterly meeting and it's time to get rid of a nuisance in the grounds.
