SOMERSET ngus of the Hills, Aonghas nam Beann, is well known in Highland religious circles, though perhaps not given all the honour that he shouldA be. The purpose of this article is to clarify, as far as possible, some of the dates and other basic facts of his life. For convenience, we have attached dates to the title and to several of the sections of this article but it should be emphasised that these dates are very much approximate. We are not claiming to have settled the various chronological questions that crop up. 1. Lewis (early years until about 1838) Angus Macleod, Angus of the Hills, was born in the parish of Uig, Lewis.1 His date of birth is uncertain but it was before 1810.2 His father 1 The principal sources for the life of Angus of the Hills are: The Sunday at Home Family Magazine for Sabbath Reading (1892-3), pp. 69-71 (compiled by an anonymous “gentleman” from information supplied by Mrs Bishop of Tobermory); Principal John Macleod, “Angus of the Hills”, Free Presbyterian Magazine, vol. 2 (1897-8), pp. 349-52 (cited below as Macleod); Malcolm Macphail, “Notes on Religion in Lewis, Part VII”, Oban Times, Saturday 1st 1898, Part VIII, Saturday 8th October (obtainable from Stornoway Public Library); Roderick MacCowan, The Men of Skye (Portree, 1902), pp. 147-153; Norman C.

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.
