Just a few miles away is ‘Clo Mor’ mills who offer a bespoke range of our exhibit centre showing how the cloth has Harris Tweed designs. evolved from traditional uses to high fashion today. THE HARRIS TWEED FESTIVAL Harris Tweed is one of the most desirable textiles in the world. It is a product like no other – uniquely protected by its own act of Parliament ‘The Harris Tweed Act of 1993’ and manufactured by the same artisan skills now as by our island forefathers over a hundred years ago, it is an industry, it is a work of craftsmanship, it is part of our culture. The contrast between the simple, elemental origins of the cloth and the opulent, international market it reaches makes for a fascinating story and it is one we never tire of telling as we travel the world to promote Harris Tweed. But as every traveller knows, there is nothing quite like coming home and The Harris Tweed Festival 2016 gives us a very special opportunity to celebrate all that Harris Tweed is right here in its heartland. The Festival, conceived by An Lanntair as part of the Bealach Creative Place programme and 2016 Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, will bring together a host of different activities, events and people involved in every aspect of the industry. We are delighted to be part of this and very much hope you enjoy visiting the exhibitions, taking part in the workshops, joining in with the Festival Day, taking the tours, listening to the stories and learning about the heritage of this solely distinctive product in what will truly be an ard-fheill na Clò Mòr. Norman L. Macdonald Chair, The Harris Tweed Authority Bealach: Creative Place Awards Bealach; a Gaelic word originally meaning ‘route or pass’ which has come through time to signify a passage for travellers, through land or sea, essentially describing the process of moving through. In 2015 a bid from the Outer Hebrides was awarded the top level Creative Place accolade by Creative Scotland in recognition of our thriving arts and culture. Championed by a dynamic partnership led by An Lanntair Arts Centre, the win awarded £125K funding towards the unique ‘Bealach’ project and recognised the breadth of our local artistic work and creative activity. Bealach focuses on making a way in to new cultural experiences rooted in the rich heritage of the Gaidhealtachd and takes place across the Isle of Lewis and Harris. The project is enabling innovative artist residencies; world class Gaelic music; public art; trails, tours and exhibitions as well as The Festival of Harris Tweed. There are linked workshops and outreach activities throughout the programme, a range of events linking in to the community and targeted support for the development of creative skills which will add to the rich seam of talent running through the islands. hotograph © Ian Lawson For more information please visit: www.lanntair.com/bealach P EDUCATION & OUTREACH PROGRAMME Orb it: Clò School based workshops on the history & story of 6th – 24th June Mòr schools Harris Tweed.

    Chris Ryan on Behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris Businesses – 3 April 2008

    Submission from Chris Ryan on behalf of 52 Lewis and Harris businesses – 3 April 2008 Dear Sir/Madam 7-DAY FERRY SERVICES TO LEWIS & HARRIS The undersigned businesses, all based in the Western Isles, request that Sunday ferry services to Lewis & Harris should be introduced in the summer of 2008. This will be a necessary and long overdue development with the potential to improve the islands’ tourism industry in line with the Scottish Governments’ target of a 50% increase in tourism revenues. The proposed introduction of RET fares from October 2008 is also likely to result in increased demand and additional capacity will be needed to cope with peak season demand, particularly at weekends. However, our view as businesses is that Sunday services must be phased-in ahead of RET and that they should certainly be in place for summer 2008. Apart from the immediate boost for the local economy, this would give accommodation providers and tourism related businesses an indication of the response to weekend services and allow for business planning for the summer of 2009, which is the Year of Homecoming. Quite apart from the many social benefits, Sunday ferry services will make a major difference to the local economy by extending the tourist season, enabling businesses to work more efficiently and spreading visitor benefits throughout the islands. As a specific example, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, held in July, attracts over 15,000 people and contributes over £1m to the local economy. A Sunday ferry service would mean that many visitors to the festival would stay an extra night, enjoy all 4 –days of the festival and see more of the islands.

  • [Tweed and Textiles from Early Times to the Present Day]

    [Tweed and Textiles from Early Times to the Present Day]

    [Tweed and Textiles from Early Times to the Present Day] The crofting way of life as it was lived in the Calbost area occupied the time of the whole population; both male and female during the four seasons of the year in a fully diversified way of life. Their work alternated from agriculture, fishing, kelping, weaving and knitting, cattle and sheep etc. etc. Some of that work was seasonal and some work was carried on inside during the winter months when it was difficult to participate in outdoor work because of the weather and the long winter evenings. Distaff – ‘Cuigeal’ The manufacture of cloth on order to protect him from the elements was one of man’s most ancient occupations and spinning was carried out by the distaff and spindle from an early date, yet it is believed that the distaff is still in use in parts of the world today. The distaff was also used extensively in Lewis in times past. A distaff is simply a 3 ft x 1½ inch rounded piece of wood with about 8 inches of one end flattened in order to hold the wool on the outer end as the distaff protrudes out in front of the spinner as she held it under her arm with a tuft of wool at the end. The wool from the distaff was then linked to the spindle ‘Dealgan’ or ‘Fearsaid’ which is held in the opposite hand and given a sharp twist by the fingers at the top of the spindle, in order to put the twist in the yarn as the spindle rotates in a suspended position hanging from the head.

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.
