If it has been scanned how can one view it? It would be interesting to compare it with the Norse township names of Uig shown in Magne Oftedal's map of Lewis 1954. Sarah, the work you folks of Comann Eachdraidh Uig do is greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Hugh MacAulay Has the map, Viking names of Uig been scanned? If it has been scanned how can one view it?

We had an application in for funding to publish them in booklets but got knocked back so we're looking at other options. I also have a splendid large map of Viking names of Uig, thanks to Angus Macdonald, which will be appearing here when I manage to get it scanned.

I am sure that someone in each village would willingly undertake the task of mapping out the areas around the village and thereby retain part of the Uig Heritage.
