Previews (pdf files): Cover of book | Sample page

In entering the new millennium, UCC and CEU [the Uig Community Council] marked the occasion by making a photographic record of all participating households and residents in the Uig district, on the West coast of Lewis. Photographs have also been taken of villages and various aspects of life in Uig. Uig 2000 (116 pages inc cover) contains all these photographs in colour and relevant householder information. The book also contains a short history of Uig over the last 200 years written by Joni Buchanan, and a section on present day life in Uig. We are confident that the book will provide an invaluable and fascinating record of the Uig community, at the turn of the millennium and will be greatly appreciated by present and future generations.

Uig 2000 will be available for sale at £12.00 per copy [they regret that they can only accept payment in UK currency -- see below for guidance with payment from the US] in early December [2001] plus £2.50 for shipping and handling to UK addresses and £4.00 to the rest of the world.

For mail orders please write to: Uig Community Council, 12 Valtos, Uig, Isle of Lewis, Scotland HS2 9HR or contact us by email to Cree Mackenzie at cree@scaliscro.co.uk for an order form.
