This could be one of the main attractions to Lewis or Stornoway and used for marriage ceremonies in the Stornoway area. The only thing which has been done is to put some fancy gates to the entrance. Should that not have been the last part of the renovation work ??! My wife's great grandfather Rev George Macleod and his family are buried there and we think it is  A GREAT SCANDAL THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO SAVE THIS CHURCH Bill Lawson wrote years ago a book about this church and hoped then that action would be taken to save this church from ruin, but only fancy gates to the entrance have been put up and nothing else ! It is tragic. Regards, Gerard Lemmens THE ST COLUMBA CHURCH UIDH

I'd imagine they would understand it, considering the word is an anglicized version of an original Gaelic word anyway... “Barra is a predominantly Gaelic speaking island, but they’re certain to understand the word “whisky”.”
