11 November 2024

Three generations of the same family laid wreaths at Carloway War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday.

Many in the community attended a joint church service led by Rev Thomas Davis where neighbouring congregations of the Free Church and Church of Scotland gathered together.

Afterwards they made their way to the local war memorial beside the church.  

Amongst the group laying wreaths were Colin Macleod of Garenin who represented Carloway district, his daughter Kathryn Macarthur and grandson, Christopher. Kathryn - who stays in Upper Carloway - laid a wreath on behalf of Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar while Christopher placed a wreath for Sgoil Shiaboist.
