General:	The main airport for Lewis and Harris, located a couple of miles from the island capital of Stornoway

Appearance:	A small functional building resembling a cross between a light industrial estate building and a out of town shop. Everything with the exception of the departure gates is in one open space

Inbound

Domestic
After stepping down from the plane and walking across the tarmac you enter straight into baggage reclaim where there is a single belt. As there are no international flights from this airport the arrivals hall is also the main departures area and waiting area for people meeting arrivals. Its a couple of steps out the door to the car park

A single baggage carousel in the main departures hall!

There are a handful of buses a day Monday to Saturday (no public transport operates on a Sunday on the Western Isles), though they don't appear to match the flight times particularly well. Journey time into the centre of Stornoway is about 15 minutes. Alternatively if the weather is good its a very pleasant 70 or so minute walk mostly on the flat to the centre of town.

Domestic
There are just three checkin desks, from there it's a general seating space that covers both the cafe, departures and people waiting for arrivals. Only once the flight has been called can you walk through the small security screening area into the single gate room which has two doors acting as the two gates
