For the sixth year running, the Comhairle will participate in World Earth Hour in a symbolic show of support for action on climate change and a more sustainable future.
Earth Hour is a global annual event where hundreds of millions of people switch off their lights for one hour to show they care about our planet.
At 8.30pm on Saturday, the Comhairle will turn off the lights at the War Memorial on the outskirts of Stornoway.
Last year more than 10 million people in the UK, 162 countries and 7,000 towns and cities, took part in the world’s largest participation event.
Some of the world’s most recognisable landmarks including Big Ben, The Sydney Opera House and the Eiffel Tower switched off for Earth Hour.
Scotland celebrated the event with schools, individuals, organisations, community
groups and iconic buildings joining the big switch-
