About

This blog will feature stories, which I have unearthed from the history of the Outer Hebrides in general and the Isles of Lewis and Harris in particular. The period is from the 19th century to the present day. The stories will be copied from my other blogs that I have sourced myself (many times with the aid of others) . The focus will be strongly on the First World War.

The title? The Pentland Road is a single-track road on Lewis that runs between Stornoway and the villages of Breasclete and Carloway. It is a historical roadway.
