Earlier this week, we sat down with Bill Lawson to record an interview, which will be incorporated into future exhibitions. It is always a privilege to speak with Bill and learn about his remarkable commitment that led him to amass tens of thousands of records, a contribution that has greatly advanced the documentation and understanding of the islands’ history.
With grateful thanks to Catriona MacLennan, Board Member of the Northton Heritage Trust, for conducting the interview, Ruaraidh Urpeth Filmmaking, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and of course, Bill Lawson.
