Island Echoes: Voices from North Uist. A series of conversations with North Uist residents in the Western Isles gathered together by Hamish McIlwraith, all in one place to catch a glimpse of Hebridean social times.
The texts are verbatim transcriptions edited lightly from Harmish’s recording to leave fluent narratives that retain the character of each interviewee, from Gaelic to English. Including conversational topics ranging from family history, gender identity, life events and the local superstitions. Link to work is provided below.
