On Saturday last, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar held a networking event at Sgoil Lionacleit on Benbecula for the comainn eachdraidh (historical associations) of both Berneray and Barra, with a presence also at the event from An Caidreachas Eachdraidh and Tasglann.
Various projects were discussed, including the Guthan Bheàrnaraidh project, and the development of both An Caidreachas Eachdraidh and Hebridean Connections, with discussions of how these could possibly be expanded across the isles, and with an invitation for other societies to participate.
CNE has now placed an in-depth blog report on the day's proceedings at http://blogserver.cne-siar.gov.uk/wp-archivist/?p=987. It's all happening out west!
