Thanks for that about Spiggie Hotel. I am trying to trace the author of the information that guests were first put up above the shop in 1884 ... in Shetlopedia. I had thought it might be yourself. The photo of the 'rough shooters' in the Museum collection says 1884 and they are posed in front of the old shop at Whillygarth.

Has anyone ever excavated the mound? The Man who defeated the Lewis men was Sinclair of Havera. I believe some time ago you posted something on the opening of the Spiggie Hotel back in the late 1800s? I am interested to know the exact date that happened? Bousta
