Timsgarry (Scottish Gaelic: Tuimisgearraidh) is a village on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Timsgarry is home to the Baile na Cille Church and the Uig Museum, noted for its giant Chessmen, discovered in the sands in 1831.
Timsgarry lies on the western side of the Isle of Lewis on Uig Bay, 33+1⁄2 miles (54 kilometres) southwest of Stornoway on the B8011 road, to the north of Ardroil.
[2] Fragments of Iron Age pottery were recovered from Dun Borranish, just to the south of the main settlement, in 1991.
[10][11][12] These were identified as 12th century Viking chess pieces which were made from walrus ivory and whale teeth.
