I was born in a village called Cromore in the Outer Hebrides in April 1939....Both my parents came from Isle of Lewis...Love these old photos, they tell a story of much treasured bygone times. Thank for sharing...

[@tourscotland]

thanks for your comment, Gordon, you have a great heritage

[@paladonperrysings]

Thanks for showing these old time photo's will bring a lot of memories for people here. real strong hardy people . Kindest regards from a current resident. We rebuilt one of the old weavers cottages out in the sticks.We now have a beautiful old cottage nearly 100 years old and a beautiful garden that everyone said we could not have here. Peter and MaryAnne

[@tourscotland]

thank you for viewing my video and your comment, and wonderful information, and great job with your cottage

[@rumackenzie8345]

Peter and MaryAnne, not sure if you were new to the Isles? If so it takes strong and hardy folk to brink from the Ashe something unique and architecturally of their own time You’ve become part of the warp and weft, Think of a quote “._Lewis she gathers her own home” she called you both, best wishes for your kindness @Louis Grevostj XXXX

@@tourscotland Suberi thankyou. I’m aware that an anthropologist spent a long time on Lewis, have you any ideas about his name??

[@paladonperrysings]

@@rumackenzie8345 Thank you for your kind words, we have been on the Island for 24 years now, would not want to be anywhere else now, I am 76 my daughter is 50, these old cottages were built to last not like modern houses. Wishing you happiness and good health, kindest regards Peter .

Lovely, thanks for sharing.

[@tourscotland]

Thanks for watching !

@@tourscotland Shared on twitter too, my Grandad came from Stornoway, hadn't seen a tree until he came to the mainland!

[@BND58469]

In all photos, the people were working, indoors or out. Hardy folk. Thank you for this wonderful photographic display :)

[@Rosie-fj7yr]

So different from st kildare.

[@davidkeel]

Fascinating pictures !

[@redchic]

My great grandfather (x3) was a handloom Weaver in Scotland. There weren't many of them so he never ran out of work. While that picture looks a little like him with his loom, I doubt it. I know he lived in Kilmarnock when he passed, but I don't think that he ever lived outside the Ayrshire area.

[@tourscotland]

thank you for your comment

[@savanahalbaharany5351]

Please God help me to visite this Island (Lewis) I'm so admired of England& scotland & Ireland*** I think it is Angel lands and it is heaven on the earth

[@tourscotland]

I hope you do get to visit

[@LuisFernandezCaula]

Very interesting but why don’t put the names of city’s or villages and the year of the photos, thanks from Andalusia.

[@tourscotland]

Great suggestion, Merry Christmas and a Happy :New Year to you

[@nledaig]

The University of Point St has many excellent photos on its walls - all of Lewis scenes in the early 20th century

[@tourscotland]

thank you for your comment

[@giacomozanus9842]

Are these images available elsewhere or in the public domain?

[@tourscotland]

I do not think so

[@jerrycarr]

NICE..

[@tourscotland]

Thank you ! Cheers !

[@LynxSouth]

Would someone please tell me exactly what they're doing at 4:48? Drying tree trunks? Assembling a dinosaur?

[@tourscotland]

drying kelp

[@LynxSouth]

@@tourscotland That's unusual-looking kelp. How does it get those curved columns in it, all stuck in a clump like roots of a tree stump?

[@tourscotland]

@@LynxSouth that is how they did it

[@LynxSouth]

@@tourscotland OK. Thanks.

[@netaearl2389]

It looks like a very civilized place. Do you know the population?

[@tourscotland]

thanks for your comment, population is 18,500

[@DifferentSaturner]

I just wonder how was life during that period. Cornered & almost untouched! I wish you add names of places, sound or music & years in your next video like this one. Videos from your channel should get more views. You may add # short, shorts, tour, or anything in the subject line. That might help. Added to a playlist: Vintage. (Thu 24 June 2021 19h01)

[@tourscotland]

Great suggestion, I am not very good at this

[@DifferentSaturner]

@@tourscotland I'm not as well & find it difficult to learn these techs. I get help from youngsters & I wish you get from them.

[@ChristophersMum]

Whilst I agree about names dates and places...please no music...I find at times it distracts from what the video is about...and no two people share the same taste as to the appropriatemusic...it is better that it is left the way it is.

[@DifferentSaturner]

@@ChristophersMum Agree.

[@mozdickson]

Interesting but no context - approx time; subject; location. D

[@tourscotland]

Good point

[@michaelmacluskie6089]

Nothing on these outer Hebridean Islands have changed....its still the same today 2018.

[@tourscotland]

thank you for viewing my video and your comment, Michael

[@nledaig]

You are joking!!!

[@potatonate760]

Any connection to Donald Trump?

[@tourscotland]
