Picture shows Teilisnis, on the north coast of West Loch Tarbert, Harris, from where Fionnlagh Og (Campbell) and family were evicted in 1823. They were given the tenancy of Molinginish, until then grazed as part of the farm of Scalpay. Fionnlagh was the ancestor of most of the later people in Molinginish. His son Ruaraidh Mor succeeded him. Ruaraidh had eleven children that I know of, all born in Molinginish. A major task ahead of them was to create the hundreds of cultivation ridges - which would in turn have consumed an enormous tonnage of seaweed every year.
