麻豆约拍

Chaill t貌rr am beatha aig muir tron oidhche air an 30mh den Fhaoilleach anns an Stoirm Mh貌r. Bhuail an MV Clan MacQuarrie air na creagan far costa Le貌dhais air an t-slighe air ais 脿s na h-Innseachan ach chaidh an sgioba gu l猫ir a sh脿bhaladh le gaisgich a' bhaile. An d猫idh leth-cheud bliadhna, tha an ceangal eadar a' choimhearsnachd agus sgioba an t-soithich fhathast l脿idir, ceangal a th' air a chomharrachadh tro bhith a' fosgladh ionad coimhearsnachd 霉r anns an sg矛re.

The night of 30 January 1953 saw many lives lost at sea in the Great Storm. The MV Clan Macquarrie returning from India hit on the rocks in a crashing sea off the west coast of Lewis, all the crew were saved in a heroic rescue by local villagers. Fifty years later the link is still strong between the community and the ship's crew, a bond that is celebrated with the opening of a new community centre.
