The island of Mingulay lies at near the southern tip of the Western
Isles archipelago, its fertile valleys and rugged coastline of
cliffs and sea stacks a spectacular setting for a wealth of
important archaeology. Up to the fifteenth century Mingulay was
part of the estate of the Bishop of the Isles, and then passed into
the hands of the MacNeils of Barra. Deserted in the early 1900s,
since the 1920s archaeologists have been recording the island's
buildings and prehistoric remains. Combining previous surveys with
the results of a new project undertaken by the Royal Commission on
the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and the National
Trust for Scotland, this fold-out information guide is the
indispensable record of the archaeological landscapes and
architectural relics of the island. A highly detailed map
identifies the locations of everything from burial cairns and
roundhouses to chapels and schools, and explanatory text
illustrated by survey drawings and contemporary and historic
photography traces the lives of the people who made this remote
island their home.
