Lamlash: The Mound
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 27 Sep 2010
This small, unassuming mound, in the lawn alongside the shore, was formed by the first of 400 islanders who resettled in Canada, leaving Lamlash for their new lives on 25 April 1829. The Rev. A. Mackay preached from it on that day as they set sail. For the whole story, see Image The memorial is opposite, just across the road to our right. The village centre, including shops and the parish church, is in the background.
