Key Information
Plasterfield is a suburb of Stornoway and consists of two groups of houses, built after World War II. The ambulance station for the Isle of Lewis is also here[2] as well a small industrial estate (Mossend estate). In the 1970s a group of Barratt houses was built adjacent to Plasterfield; this area was originally called Bayview. Plasterfield is also the home of The Blackhouse bakery (formerly MacKinnon's).[3]
Angus Macleod, the former Scottish editor of The Times, was raised in Plasterfield.[4][5]
