Old Photographs Stornoway Isle Of Lewis Outer Hebrides Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides. This Scottish town was founded by Vikings in the early 9th century, under the name Stjórnavágr. This town, and what eventually became its present day version, grew up around a sheltered natural harbour well placed at a central point on the island, for the convenience of people from all over the island, to arrive at the port of Stornoway, either by family boat or horse drawn coach for ongoing travel and trade with the mainland of Scotland and to all points south. In the mid 19th century, the ownership of Stornoway, and by extension the Isle of Lewis, passed from the MacKenzies of Seaforth to Sir James Matheson. In 1918, Matheson sold the island to William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme. Notable people born in Stornoway include; Colonel Colin Mackenzie, born 1754, died 8 May 1821, who was a Scottish army officer in the British East India Company who later became the first Surveyor General of India. He was a collector of antiquities and an orientalist. He surveyed southern India, making use of local interpreters and scholars to study religion, oral histories, inscriptions and other evidence initially out of personal interest and later as a surveyor. He was ordered to survey the Mysore region shortly after the British victory over Tipu Sultan in 1799 and produced the first maps of the region along with illustrations of the landscape and notes on archaeological landmarks. His collections consisting of thousands of manuscripts, inscriptions, translations, coins and paintings were acquired after his death by the India Office Library and are an important source for the study of Indian history. Sir Alexander Mackenzie, or MacKenzie, born 1764, died 12 March 1820, who was a Scottish explorer. He is known for his overland crossing of what is now Canada to reach the Pacific Ocean in 1793. This was the first east to west crossing of North America north of Mexico and preceded the Lewis and Clark expedition by 10 years.

The Arnol Blackhouse , ruined number 39, Isle of Lewis and Harris. New Tour Guide in Training :)
Our Fantastic new Tour Guide in Training.
Arrans giving an improve tour of one of the stunning Blackhouses from the Isle of Lewis. These fantastic buildings were still unused on the Island until the 1970’s and housed the family and the cattle. They also had a peat burning fire in the middle of the living room, which had no chimney or windows for ventilation. This left everything covered in a dark layer of peat suite. Good for the lungs is what I’ve heard
Gerrannan Blachouse village -Isle of Lewis - Scotland
The buildings were generally built with double wall dry-stone walls packed with earth and wooden rafters covered with a thatch of turf with cereal straw or reed. The floor was generally flagstones or packed earth and there was a central hearth for the fire. There was no chimney for the smoke to escape through. Instead the smoke made its way through the roof.
The blackhouse was used to accommodate livestock as well as people. People lived at one end and the animals lived at the other with a partition between them. Although this is now a museum you can also stay in the Blackhouse's as they are now self catering houses.

Cinematic Scotland's Brave Tour: Arnol Blackhouse
Blackhouses were the traditional thatched homes of crofters in the Outer Hebrides, a place where families could live under one roof with their animals due to the harsh weather outside.
Blackhouses had no chimneys, which made the home warmer and also killed bugs. The smoke also had an adverse effect on the owners' lungs.
The blackhouse at Arnol on the Isle of Lewis dates from around 1880.

When Detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at Montreal's St. Hubert airfield, he does so without looking back. For Sime, the 850-mile journey ahead represents an opportunity to escape the bitter blend of loneliness and regret that has come to characterise his life in the city.
Travelling as part of an eight-officer investigation team, Sime's destination lies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Only two kilometres wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of around 130 inhabitants -- the wealthiest of which has just been discovered murdered in his home.
The investigation itself appears little more than a formality. The evidence points to a crime of passion: the victim's wife the vengeful culprit. But for Sime the investigation is turned on its head when he comes face to face with the prime suspect, and is convinced that he knows her -- even though they have never met.
Haunted by this certainty his insomnia becomes punctuated by dreams of a distant past on a Scottish island 3,000 miles away. Dreams in which the widow plays a leading role. Sime's conviction becomes an obsession. And in spite of mounting evidence of her guilt he finds himself convinced of her innocence, leading to a conflict between the professonal duty he must fulfil, and the personal destiny that awaits him.
