Western Isles Strongest man was a strongman competition held at the village of Tong on the island of Lewis and Harris. The competition suffered from lack of financial and community support with the last competition taking place in 2011.
Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties and lack of interest the Lewis Highland Games and Western Isles Strongest Man competition was wound up as a company on 14 March 2012.
