The island of Soay nestles between the Sleat peninsula and the grandeur of the Cuillins - and there can be few more magnificent settings. Despite its proximity to Skye it has been little visited. Evacuated in 1953 - the first evacuation since St Kilda - it has since been re-occupied. The history of the island is ultimately linked with that of Skye - including the great clearances.
Laurance Reed’s book, privately published in the 1980s, is the definitive account of this beautiful and little known island, incorporating a great deal of original research. This new edition contains a new epilogue and a plate section of the island and its evacuation.
