Old Photograph Carinish North Uist Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of Carinish, Scottish Gaelic: Càirinis, a hamlet on North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It is in the south of the island, about 2 miles from the causeway to Benbecula. North Uist is the tenth largest Scottish island. North Uist was hit hard during the Highland Clearances, and there was large scale emigration from the island to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. North Uist surnames affected during the clearances were the MacAulay, Morrison, MacCodrum, MacCuish, and MacDonald. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
