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.

  • A Re-Examination of the Lineage of Bost &
    DESCENDANTS OF NORSE BOLSTAIJR?: A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE LINEAGE OF BOST & CO. Richard Cox INTRODUCTION The account by Nicolaisen in Scottish Place-Names of the Norse settlement of Scotland as seen from place-name evidence is a land-mark in the development of our understanding of that largely undocumented process. His analysis of the distribution of selected generic elements clearly plots the gradual but relentless approach of serial settlement, through the Northern and Western Isles, up to and onto the northern mainland and western coastal belt. The chronology proposed for the settlement generic-elements discussed, places them in the following order: 1. sta(Jr, 2. setr (and/or sretr) and 3. b6lstaor (Nicolaisen 1976. 87-94). The remarkable thing about the last of these elements, b6lstaor, is that, according to Nicolaisen, it has yielded a large number of different reflexes in modern forms of names. These include orthographic bist, bister, bust, buster, bast, pster, mster, bus, boll, poll, pool and bo (Nicolaisen op.cit. 94). There is general agreement here among earlier commentators, but there are some dissenters concerning one or two individual reflexes (Appendix 2). For instance, not all would agree that boll, poll or pool forms derive from b6lstaor. This in itself does not prompt a complete re-examination of the reflexes of b6lstaor, but there does seem to be a sufficiently compelling reason to undertake one. Enquiring into the form and derivation of shader-names over the west of Scotland (in Gaelic, Siadar ['fiaqdr] ['fid<;ldr] or final -seadar [,f aqdr]), the evidence suggested that an early group of these coincided chronologically with name-forms with the reflex bast, but that · another group of shader-names were of a slightly later stratum than bast-names (Cox 1990).

  • [Settlement at Glen Gravir]
    [Settlement at Glen Gravir] The crofting village of Gravir (44 crofts), in the Parish of Lochs, Isle of Lewis, showed a steady rise in population in the 70 years from the 1841 Census, at 233 people, to the peak population of 468 people in 1911, a rise of over 100% in 70 years. From 1911 there is a steady decline in the Gravir population. Population statistics for the crofting townships of Pairc: Township 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 1911 Habost 53 68 89 96 98 113 121 111 Kershader 70 81 84 104 114 103 111 101 Garyvard 46 63 77 94 103 101 74 100 Caverstay 29 38 42 78 45 54 64 Cromore 127 170 182 221 259 271 294 284 Crobeg 9 50 30 10 11 6 3 3 Marvig 98 146 189 206 206 205 225 206 Calbost 67 105 122 158 183 197 200 187 Gravir 233 270 326 353 368 389 416 468 Lemreway 179 209 236 245 261 316 335 Orinsay 148 4 2 5 Steimreway 62 89 Eishken 11 17 29 11 14 14 Total 1121 1042 1357 1357 1694 1706 1830 1882 Gravir was grossly overcrowded in 1911 with an average of well over 10 people per croft of about 5 acres of inbye land each, or less than half an acre per person on average. The passing of the long-awaited Smallholders (Scotland) Act 1911, which took 5 years before Parliament, brought a strong feeling of optimism and hope to the deprived landless and homeless families. Agitation for new crofts started again as soon as the First World War ended, but when it became clear that neither the Government or the new Island landlord, Lord Leverhulme, would not support the establishment of any more re-settlement schemes in the former crofter townships of Park, the Gravir people took the initiative themselves and began to move out to Gravir common at Glen Gravir from 1920 onwards.

  • 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.
