Having been on Scarp numerous times it was very interesting to put families and people into the still standing ruins. Very informative discussing all aspects of life on a barren isle. Not romantic but factual and slightly sad, if only the Scarpachs had held on a little longer (beyound 1970) they would have gained ...             Mull and Iona: Highways and Byways, the Fairest of the Inner Hebridean Isles and Scotland's Great Centre of ...1 review Peter MacNab, P A Macnab Luath Press Limited, 1999 Mull & iona highways and byways review If you are the type of traveler who likes to park your car or bike alongside the road and get off the beaten path, this book is for you. Particularly for the Isle of Mull, it is a very detailed source of local monuments, nature trails, hidden sites, small village location and information, and some local history. It also includes information for the main tourist destinations. The book includes ...             Canna: The Story of a Hebridean Island2 reviews John Lorne Campbell, Hugh Cheape Birlinn Publishers, 2002 A very good history written by the owner of the island I visited Canna twice in 2003 during a one week sailing trip on a classical ship with the name Edda Frandsen. We also sailed close to Rum and Eigg and visited several of the outer islands. I have dear memories of the loneliness of the environment and I have been reading about its history ever since. John Lorne Campbell owned Canna before he donated it to the National Trust for Scotland. I like ...             Isles of the West: A Hebridean Voyage1 review Ian Mitchell Canongate Books, 1999 Don't worry about the birds, they'll manage without us I love this book, even if the writer is a cantankerous antisocial reprobate knocker who quite clearly knows far too much about whisky, small boats and Scottish islands. If we met up, we'd probably have the mother and father of a row about just about everything in the book. I'm avidly waiting for the next one...             A SCHOOL IN SOUTH UIST: REMINISCENCES OF A HEBRIDEAN SCHOOLMASTER, 1890-19131 review FREDERICK G REA ROUTLEDGE & K. PAUL, 1964 A classic by a grand old gentleman This is the story of the first Catholic Schoolmaster in South Uist since the Reformation. Frederick Rea was an English Roman Catholic and his experiences with the Gaelic Speaking Islanders of South Uist and the famous folklorist and poet Father Allan MacDonald make for a wonderful, sometimes funny and sometimes tragic story. This is a charming an important book for anyone interesting in ...             Celtic Christianity and Nature: Early Irish and Hebridean Traditions1 review Mary Low Edinburgh University Press, 1997 Good Historical Book So many books in this subject desend to bad neo-pagan drivel. This book however examines primary source works to give a factual and interesting glimpse into pagan influences in the early Christian Church.             Hebridean Dance =: Dannsa Nan Eileanach1 review Acair, 1995 Hard to find, but not impossible! Worth the hunt. Great book to add to your collection. From the cover: "This is a collection of dances that specifically identify with the Hebrides and the West Coast of Scotland. They were made up to promote or commemorate special incidents or occasions in the community to keep the traditions alive in this unique manner. It is hoped to expand this collection in the future." This book ...             Every Emotion: Hebridean Poetry1 review George Carle IUniverse, 2001 EVERY EMOTION This first collection of traditional minimalist poetry by George Carle is truly memorable. The poetry revolves around the break up of his marriage and loss of children but in addition many poems are inspired by the atmospheric Hebridean island where he lives. A flood of verse seems to have been released by the rather tragic life events and his poetry is truly charged with emotion. There is a ...             Bodega at the Hebridean Celtic Festival 2008 Jan Schouten Unknown Publisher, 2008 Photos of Bodega performance during the Hebridean Celtic Festival 2008 - Stornoway Isle of Lewis.             Bramble and Coultoon: Their Hebridean Adventure Catherine Wilson AILSAPRESS, 2009 This story is a delightful blend of fact and fancy.

They take a ferry, which lands them in Oban, and then another ferry, which lands them in South Uist. After a stormy crossing they are very glad to pitch camp for the night.
