Isle of Lewis Bus Shelter, Long Lane, Stornoway These shelters seem to be unique to Lewis. They are solid concrete bus shelters, and which ever way the wind and rain is blowing you can find shelter  in one of the four alcoves. They were built to withstand all weathers. the only problem I can see is that if you are stood in one of the alcoves, the bus driver might not see you.
