Sunday opening hours stir up a storm on Stornoway

Available for over a year

Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, is home to some 7,000 people. Traditionally, Sunday on the island is a day of rest, and in the past there was no public transport and businesses were closed. Over the last 20 years, Sunday on Lewis has undergone a series of significant changes: First flights, then ferries, and since 2018 you've been able to go to the cinema. Now, for the first time a supermarket will open on a Sunday. For this episode of the 5 Minutes On podcast the BBC’s Scotland correspondent Catriona Renton has been speaking to locals who are not happy, and to those who think change is inevitable. (Image: BBC)
