Description: Detail of commemorative stone at Ceann Shìpoirt The stone reads.......... Seaforth Castle In 1620, Kenneth, chief of the Clan Mackenzie and owner of Lewis, built his first residence here at Seaforth Head. His successors, the Earls of Seaforth took their title from the nearby loch and raised the Seaforth Highlanders Regiment, taking their name all over the world. They were amongst the most decorated and successful fighting units in the British army until the name was lost in the reforms of the late 20th century. The Mackenzies brought peace to the island and ruleed for over 200 years.
