Parkend (Scottish Gaelic : Ceann nam Buailtean) is a hamlet in the Sandwick region of the Isle of Lewis, although like Melbost, it is not a part of the Eye Peninsula. Many people erroneously believe it to be a suburb of Stornoway, on the island of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. [1] Parkend is within the parish of Stornoway. [2] Parkend is situated on the A866, [3] and the adjoining Holm Road allows access to the nearby Holm Village. The Parkend Industrial Estate [4] is adjacent to the small housing estate. [2] [5]
