Old Building, South Uist`
Life has not changed much for ducks in South Uist, but for humans the past 130 years have seen remarkable developments. Take a look at Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland: A Survey of Scottish Topography, Statistical, Biographical and Historical, edited by Francis H Groome and originally published in parts by Thomas C Jack, Grange Publishing Works, Edinburgh between 1882 and 1885 and, in particular, the section that includes a reference to Howmore.
