About Joiners

A joiner works with timber - fitting doors, windows, staircases, skirting boards and built-in furniture.

In Scotland the term joiner covers much of what English tradespeople would call a carpenter.

Look for someone who can show previous work and comes recommended locally - quality joinery is obvious and so is poor joinery.

About Eriskay

Eriskay is a small island between South Uist and Barra, connected to South Uist by a causeway and to Barra by ferry.

The island is famous as the landing place of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 and as the site of the SS Politician wreck that inspired Whisky Galore.

Na h-Eileanan Siar is the council area covering the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands stretching 130 miles from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Barra and Vatersay in the south off Scotland's north-west coast.

Stornoway on Lewis is the only town of any size and serves as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the islands. The rest of the population is spread across crofting townships and small villages on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra — communities connected by causeways, single-track roads and inter-island ferries.

The islands are the heartland of Scottish Gaelic language and culture. Gaelic is spoken as an everyday language here to a degree found nowhere else in Scotland and the traditions of crofting, weaving, fishing and storytelling remain central to island life. Harris Tweed — handwoven in the homes of islanders from locally dyed wool — is a globally recognised fabric and a vital part of the local economy.

The landscape is extraordinary: white shell-sand beaches on the Atlantic coast, ancient standing stones at Callanish, the mountainous terrain of Harris, the flat machair grasslands of the Uists and some of the darkest skies in Europe. Wildlife — sea eagles, otters, seals and vast seabird colonies — draws naturalists from around the world.

CalMac ferries connect the islands to the mainland from Ullapool, Uig on Skye and Oban, while Loganair flights serve Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra — where the beach at Traigh Mhor famously serves as the runway. Despite the remoteness, the islands have a strong and self-reliant community life shaped by faith, Gaelic culture and the rhythms of the sea.
