PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

Recovery of Human Remains at St Taran's and St Keith's Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles
Recovery of human remains at St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapel, Taransay, Western Isles Martin Cook and Mike Roy With contributions by Dawn McLaren, Ann MacSween and Kath McSweeney Overview A PROGRAMME of archaeological works was undertaken on Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (Figure 1), involving the removal of loose artefacts and a survey of the surrounding area. Artefacts including human bone were recovered from areas of erosion in the vicinity of cemeteries traditionally associated with St Taran’s and St Keith’s Chapels.1 Following particularly bad storms in January 2005, human remains were found to be eroding from a standing section below a cemetery traditionally associated with St Taran’s Chapel, Taransay, Harris, Western Isles (NGR: NG 0310 9914; Figure 1). Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council collected loose material, and further identified five sites of interest which were under threat of coastal erosion.2 Although bones had previously been recorded in the area, the volume of eroded material led Dr MacLeod to contact Historic Scotland, and request assistance. AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned under the terms of the Historic Scotland Human Remains Call-Off Contract to undertake the 1 AOC Archaeology Group is most grateful to the landowner, Mr Angus MacKay for permission to excavate, for the use of accommodation and for ferrying facilities. Alan Hunter-Blair worked through horrendous conditions to complete the survey and excavation. John Gooder managed the project fieldwork while Ciara Clarke managed post-excavation works. John Barber provided helpful comments to the draft text. Advice was kindly provided by Dr Mary MacLeod of the Western Isles Council and Mr Patrick Ashmore, Head of Archaeology, Historic Scotland.

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.
