This is in addition to about the same number, dealing with the traditions^ superstitions, general history, and social condition of the Highlands, and mostly prepared after business hours in the course of an active private and public life, including my editorial labours in connection with the Celtic Maga- zine and the Scottish Highlander. This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.

    Sale Report 12Th Sep 18

    Lewis & Harris Auction Mart Stornoway - Isle of Lewis SALE REPORT WEDNESDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2018 Lewis and Harris Auction Mart held its second sale of the 2018 season on Wednesday 12th September. The sale, held in conjunction with our partners at Dingwall & Highland Marts Ltd., saw the auction of 3541 store lambs and sheep of all categories. There was a very good show of quality lambs and prices stayed strong at the top of the market although the overall average lamb price was down £1.58 on the previous year. The top price achieved was £74 gross for crosses from 6 Glen Kyles, Harris. There was strong demand for quality gimmers, resulting in the record price of £125 being achieved, not once but twice for telex cross simmers, both from Point producers at 11A Portnaguran and 5 Shulishader. As well as the strong prices seen for gimmers, older ewes and feeding sheep also sold well with a top price of £102 achieved by telex ewes from 11A New Shawbost.
