Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • Aspects of the Religious History of Lewis
    ASPECTS OF THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF LEWIS Rev. Murdo Macaulay was born in Upper Carloway, Lewis, the eldest child of a family of four boys and two girls. On the day of his birth the famous and saintly Mrs Maclver of Carloway predicted that he was to be a minister of the Gospel. This prediction, of which he had been informed, appeared to have no particular bearing upon his early career. It was not until the great spiritual revival, which began in the district of Carloway a few years before the outbreak of the Second Worid War, that Mr Macaulay came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever thoughts he may have entertained previously, it was in a prisoner of war camp in Germany that he publicly made known his decision to respond to his call to the ministry of the Free Church. The Lord's sovereignty in preparing him for the ministry could make interesting reading. It included a full secondary education, a number of years of military training, some years in business where he came to understand the foibles of the public whom he had to serve, a graduation course at Edinburgh University and a divinity Course in Up to the Disruption of 1843 the Free Church College. Mr Macaulay has a studious mind, a retentive memory, and scholastic ability for research. He has a good working knowledge of six languages, yet he is more concerned about stating facts than about This document is scanned for research and appears never to have been clothing them in attractive language.

  • PURPOSE of REPORT to Update Members on the Review of A-Listed Buildings COMPETENCE 1.1 There Are No Legal, Financial, Equalities
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 27 FEBRUARY 2019 REVIEW OF A-LISTED BUILDINGS Report by Director for Communities PURPOSE OF REPORT To update Members on the Review of A-Listed Buildings COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial, equalities or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. SUMMARY 2.1 The Comhairle has previously undertaken a review of the A-Listed Buildings within the Outer Hebrides. Following this review an action plan was determined, and has been reported on previously. The actions have now largely been discharged relating to these Category A- Listed Buildings, including actions by Historic Environment Scotland to review the Listed or Scheduled status of a number of dual designation properties. This is detailed in the Appendix to the Report. 2.2 The outstanding action involved carrying out a Building Condition Survey of Eilean Glas Lighthouse which has now been undertaken. As a result of the Survey Report the Comhairle wrote to the owners of the Lighthouse buildings advising them to provide an acceptable restoration plan or they would be served with a Repairs Notice, which if not complied with could lead to action by the Local Authority. Officers have and continue to, engage with relevant interests with a view towards securing the ongoing conservation of the Eilean Glas Lighthouse Complex. RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 It is recommended that the Comhairle: (a) note progress on discharging actions arising from the Review of Category A-Listed Buildings as set out in the Appendix to the Report; (b) note that as time and resources allow, Category B-Listed Buildings are reviewed and added to the Action Plan; and (c) agree to monitor the historic resource in respect to Listed Buildings including Eilean Glas Lighthouse, and report back on appropriate actions as required; Contact Officer: Susan Rabé Planning Officer 822690 [email protected] Appendix: Review of A-Listed Buildings Action Plan Background Papers: Report to Environment and Protective Services Committee, 27 September 2016.
