Crossbost is a village on the Isle of Lewis in the parish of North Lochs, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
It is located approximately ten miles away from Stornoway, the main town on the island.
Due to its close proximity to the main island town there are very few local amenities.
The village includes a Free Church of Scotland, graveyard, war memorial and an old fashioned, red telephone box (this no longer accepts coins; cards only).
Many of the families gathered the few possessions they could and came across the loch, most surviving their first winter in their upturned boats.
