11 Road TOBHTA UACHDRACH to Uig Upper Tote - from Gaelic This area was once home to hundreds of people who lived in the townships of Tobhta, Holm, Tobhta Ròm, Beararaig and Ruig. 8 In the early 1800s they were forced out of their homes and off the land to make room for sheep farming. Many local people emigrated to North and South Carolina in the United States and to Canada.

’S e tuathanas mòr dha-rìribh a bh’ ann an Tac Mòr Sgoirebreac. ’S e fearann anabarrach beartach, brìgheil a bh’ ann.

9 Bha an Tac bho thùs a’ ruith gu tuath bho Phort Rìgh gu Abhainn an Lethuillt. Bha sluagh mòr a’ fuireach air an fhearann gu toiseach na 19mh linn, nuair a chaidh na bailtean fhuadachadh gus na caoraich mhòra a leigeil a-steach.

B’ fhiach dhuibh èisteachd ri ‘Tac Mòr Sgoirebreac: beagan eachdraidh’ leis an Urr Tormod Dòmhnallach 10 (1904-1978) à Bhaltos (Tobar an Dualchais)

11 AN STÒR 12 - big or prominent - from Norse The Old Man of Storr, or Bodach an Stòir, was once part of the Trotternish Ridge, a 19-mile inland cliff created about 11,500 years ago which stretches north of here.

The Ridge is made of layers of rock – harder volcanic basalt rock on top and softer sandstone below. The hard rock presses down on the soft Linne Rònaigh rock, making it collapse and move. Thousands of years ago a major part of the Ridge detached from the cliff and is moving a few millimetres a Sound of Rona year towards the sea. The Old Man of Storr is hard basalt rock which was once part of the cliff.

This is the most dramatic and active landslip in Britain. Further north, near the Quiraing, the moving land is damaging the road. We expect the landscape will look very different in 5,000 years.
