This Friday’s image is taken from Bosival at Leveburgh looking out over the sound of Harris to Pabbay. Pabbay comes from the Norse “Papey” meaning island of the papar i.e. monks. The Outer Hebrides has three islands called Pabbay, all of which are now uninhabited. This one in the Sound of Harris once supported a three-figure population (cheers wikipedia) but was cleared in 1846. The Pabbay in the Barra Isles is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is a haven for nesting birds; and a third Pabbay is situated near Lochboisdale in South Uist. Friday photo: A view of Lochmaddy Lochmaddy, situated on the beautiful island of North Uist, is many a tourists first experience of the Western Isles when travelling over from Skye.

Home - SCA - Scottish Council on Archives. The Royal observatory, Edinburgh. The Crawford Collection of books and manuscripts at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, one of the most extensive and valuable astronomical libraries in the world, was the gift of James Ludovic Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford (formerly Lord Lindsay) in 1888.
Lindsay was a distinguished amateur astronomer who set up a private observatory on the family’s country estate at Dun Echt, Aberdeenshire, in the north of Scotland, in 1872. He appointed David Gill (later Sir David, Her Majesty’s Astronomer at the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope) as Director, with whose help he furnished it with a set of astronomical instruments from the best opticians in Europe. Inspired by his father, the 25th Earl of Crawford, a leading bibliophile and book collector, Lord Lindsay also assembled at Dun Echt a magnificent library of astronomical books and manuscripts.
