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).

  • 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.

    The Genealogy of Croft 7 Calbost Malcolm Mackay ‘Calum Òg’ (hence his descendants were known locally as ‘Na h-Ogaich’). He was born in 1801 in Kirivik, Carloway, and he was the first crofting tenant on croft 7 Calbost. Oral tradition informs us that to begin with he came to Gravir to work for a man called ‘Aonghais Ruadh’ when he was only 12 years old. It is thought that ‘Aonghais Ruadh’ (Angus Maclean) resided where croft 35 Gravir is now and that he was a brother of ‘Coinneach Ruadh’ (Kenneth Maclean) who was at Calbost and moved to croft 15 Gravir. It appears they came from Shawbost. It was the custom at the time that young people were engaged as ‘sgallagan’ servants or more correctly slaves for little more than their keep and their training. In some homes they were worked very hard both in agriculture and fishing. The idea was a form of residential school. It appears that ‘Calum Og’ Mackay’s conditions of work were pretty harsh and eventually he decided to run off home. His employer, however, noticed his absence and went after him in order to bring him back. On catching up with him some miles away his employer reasoned with him and in the end they both agreed on improved con- ditions of work. In future Calum was to be granted the concession of being permitted to partake of his own breakfast before feeding the farmyard animals in the early morning. We do not know if Calum stayed in Park until he married about the age of 28 years but he was in Park for the rest of his long life of 93 years.

Perhaps controversially and certainly TAIR unconventionally, Dr McIntosh concludes that island religion, M for all its struggled history and theological tensions, expresses a C profound inner spirituality. It reveals itself in kindness that gives I NTO backbone to the community. It leads towards an ardent desire for God. It is the island’s greatest export to a wider world. sh Front: Loch an Teine (The Loch of Fire) Lewis-Harris border Back: Teampall Eòin (St John the Baptist’s Chapel), Bragar £ .01 00 A LA S TAIR M C I NTO sh After two print runs this little book is now out of print.

  • [Overview of the Physical Features and History of Calbost]
    [Overview of the Physical Features and History of Calbost] The small crofting village of Calbost nestles round a fresh water loch known as ‘Loch Dubh’, which empties itself into the Bay of Calbost called ‘Camus Chalaboist’. It lies on the Minch coast of Lewis some nine sea miles south of Stornoway, and about 30 miles from Stornoway by road, because the road winds its way round the long arm of the sea known as Loch Erisort. The village is one of 10 crofting townships situated in the Park peninsula, in the Parish of Lochs, in the southwest corner of the Island, next to Harris. Geographically, the Park peninsula is almost cut off from the rest of Lewis by two long arms of sea water known as Loch Erisort to the north and Loch Seaforth to the south, confining the land access to the peninsula to a narrow neck of land at the heads of these two sea lochs between the townships of Balallan and Airidhbhruach. The peninsula extends to an area of 68,000 acres. The physical features of the area are a landscape of hills and villages and numerous fresh water lochs, as well as coastline indented with many arms of the sea, usually referred to as sea lochs, which together with the fresh water lochs gives the Parish its name of ‘Lochs’. The old name for the Park peninsula was ‘Oservaul’ which is obviously derived from Norse, while the present name of Park or ‘A Phàirc’ is a Gaelic name. The name ‘Calbost’ is considered to be of Scandinavian origin.
