I have created this blog for the descendants of the Highlanders who emigrated from the Isle of Lewis, either by choice or forced eviction. Driven by a desire for a better life for their families, these brave souls set forth from their island into an unknown world with few possessions and lacking skills they would need. My family ties include Smith, MacDonald, MacIver, Morrison, and Campbell. I invite all who can trace their roots back to Lewis to share their stories, successes and research.
