Someone Else's Story

In this book, the historian Michael Robson has in his own words shared with the reader “a tiny fraction of the mass of incidental, intriguing interest offered by the people, the landscape and the seas of the Outer Hebrides”. He has drawn on a deep personal knowledge and a rich written archive to compile Someone Else’s Story. These stories are drawn from communities across the islands from South Uist to Uig in Lewis and as far as distant Rona. All are accompanied by the author’s meticulous notes and references resulting in a book which the reader can choose to enjoy simply for the pleasure of a good story or as a source book for island heritage.
