The history of "East Gerinish" might be said to begin about 1908. There were houses at Fiacail etc before this but in the second part of 1907 and early 1908, crofts were allocated in Gerinish (East) as follows 1. Peter Campbell 2. Angus MacLeod 3. Michael Struthers 4. Allan MacLeod 5. Ranald MacEachen 6. Widow Mary MacInnes 7. Neil and Kenneth Beaton 8. John Johnstone 9. Angus MacInnes 10. Alex MacLean This info is in an article uist-rc.org.uk http://www.uist-rc.org.uk/uploads/8/6/4/3/8643927/the_new_settlement_at_gerinis2.doc Hope this helps. Iain
