Want to take part? If you live on the West coast of Lewis (Port Ness to Uig) Mairi wants to speak to you! You don’t have to be a Gaelic speaker to be involved, you just need to be living here at the moment- all stories, from all ages, will be welcome.

Mairi will come to your house for a short chat (with her own waterproofs and thermos!). During the chat, Mairi will give you a small piece of clay to hold and play with, which she will then take away and use as part of the community sculpture.

Mairi will be asking questions about yourself- what it’s like to live where you do, if you know any local stories about where you live, what ties you have to Gaelic language as a speaker (or as a Gaelic listener)! If it’s ok, Mairi will record the chat (she’s hopeless as spelling!) and she might use a recorded word or phrase or story on the website – if you don’t want to be recorded, that’s fine.

If you’d like to take part, or have any questions, please get in touch by completing the form below(?), or by emailing mairi_gillies@hotmail.com
