Metagama: A Journey from Lewis to the New World - Softcover
In 1923 the first of three Canadian liners arrived in Stornoway. Their mission, with the connivance of government officials, was to remove landless islanders, many of which were war veterans, rather than give them a plot of land. This is a very human story and the author interweaves the stories of those who emigrated to a new life with that of the island they left behind.
