The Grimsay Community Association aims to preserve and share unique aspects of island history and culture through GCA Publications, focussing on the Grimsay boats, the Monach Isles, Gaelic culture and island life. In addition to our own books and videos, we also carry books by other local publishers such as Island Book Trust, and a wide range of cards from local artists. These are available to buy in the shop at Ceann na h-Àirigh. Some can also be ordered using the mail order form.
