This “Memory Book” is to keep alive the memory of those who lived and worked on Heisgeir. It has been created through the love and generosity of families and friends who have sent information and donations to the Trust for Heisgeir. If you would like to send any additional information or corrections, please contact The Friends of the Schoolhouse.
The Memory Book is kept in the schoolhouse on Heisgeir so that visitors can understand more about the island; a copy is also on display in the community heritage & visitor centre at Ceann na h-Àirigh, Grimsay as well as here on this website.
