The name Fivepenny comes from the rent paid on the crofts - five pennies. Fivepenny is next to Eoropie in Ness. It is known as Na Còig Peighinnean locally but Còig Peighinnean Nis to distinguish it from Fivepenny Borve. There is a small shop in Fivepenny owned by Edna MacLeod who handmakes and sells soft furnishings. Beside this is ‘The Middle Room’, a small art gallery selling handmade stoneware ceramic jugs, vessels and wall hangings.

 

Ness Football Club, established in 1933, plays on Fivepenny Machair. They have a ground with a capacity of around 1000 and play in the Lewis and Harris Football League.   

 

Ness F. C. Social Club is located next to the pitch.

 

 

 

Tha an t-ainm Còig Peighinnean a’ tighinn on mhàl a bhiodh air a phàigheadh air na croitean. Tha am baile ri taobh Eòrapaidh ann an Nis. Aithnichear e mar Na Còig Peighinnean gu h-ionadail ach Còig Peighinnean Nis gus eadar-sgarachadh a dhèanamh bho Chòig Peighinnean Bhuirgh. Tha bùth beag anns Na Còig Peighinnean a tha a’ buntainn do dh’Eithne NicLeòid; bidh i a’ dèanamh agus a’ reic bathar maoth airson taighean. Ri taobh seo, tha ‘The Middle Room’ – ealain-lann a tha a’ reic bathar criadha, dèanta leis an t-sealbhadair, leithid siugaichean, soithichean agus ealain chrochte airson a’ bhalla.

 

Bidh Sgioba Bàll-coise Nis, a chuireadh air chois ann an 1933, a’ cluich air machair Chòig Peighinnean. Tha ‘stand’ aca a ghabhas mu 1000 duine agus bidh iad a’ cluich ann an Lìog Leòdhas agus na Hearadh. 

 

Tha Club Sòisealta Nis ri taobh an raoin-cluiche.
