Garenin (Scottish Gaelic: Na Gearrannan) is a crofting township on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
[2] In 1989, Urras nan Geàrrannan (The Garenin Trust) was established by the Western Isles Council to restore the houses.
Over a decade later, on 5 June 2001, the project was complete and the restored village was opened by Princess Anne.
There was a youth hostel (opened by Magnus Magnusson on 3 July 1991;[2] managed by The Gatliff Trust), but this closed in May 2011.
There are four self-catering cottages, a museum (a blackhouse set in 1955, three years after electricity arrived on the island)[2] and a resource centre; a café and a small gift shop are open in summer.
