Barvas (Scottish Gaelic: Barabhas or Scottish Gaelic: Barbhas) is a settlement, community and civil parish on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland.
It developed around a road junction. The A857 and A858 meet at the southern end of Barvas. North is the road to Ness; west takes the traveller to Carloway and the West Side; south runs the road to Stornoway. According to the 2011 Census it still has the highest concentration of Scottish Gaelic speakers in Scotland (64% of the population) with 2,037.
In the early 2000s, controversy hit the area as one of Europe's largest windfarms was planned for Barvas Moor. The Scottish Government rejected the proposals in early 2008.
I was 18 she was 45
I met her in some sleazy dive
I bought her a drink, she bought me five
She tells me that she lives nearby
She has this (?) look in her eyes
I say ok, let's go there now
Oh yeah, oh wow, so good, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh wow, oh please, oh yeah
