Old Photograph Sidnish Loch Eport South Uist Scotland

Old photograph of a crofters thatched cottage in Sidnish by Loch Eport, North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. After the Norse occupation of the Western Isles the MacRuairidhs controlled the island. North Uist was granted to Macdonald of Sleat in 1495, and remained in possession of the Macdonalds of Sleat until 1855, when it was sold to Sir John Powlett Orde. Today the island is owned by the Granville family through the North Uist Trust.
